Friends and relatives came to congratulate the athletes and their coaches, as well as the honorary delegation led by the adviser of the chairman of the Kharkiv regional state administration Ekaterina Sadurskaya and the deputy head of the Department for Youth and Sports Sergei Hristoev who conveyed congratulations from the leader of the Kharkiv region Yulia Svetlichnaya and wished the team new victories and achievements.

The sportsmen thanked for the support that they really helped in the championship.

"We already have authority in Europe and the world, and therefore this result is a regularity. Now our task is to go further and continue to develop. It was a very difficult start for the girls. At the championship, there was virtually no place to warm up. There were only two pools, one of which was small. In addition, the water was strongly chlorinated, and in the early days - with too high a temperature. But I'm sure of my team. I am sure that no reasons and difficulties will prevent her from going forward. I'm proud of my children. They are good fellows, "said the head coach of the Ukrainian team in synchronized swimming Svetlana Saidova.

Recall that the Ukrainian national synchronized swimming team includes exclusively Kharkov sportswomen: Elizaveta Yakhno, Anastasia Savchuk, Vladislav and Marina Alekseeva, Valery Apreleva, Alexander Kashuba, Yana Narezhnaya, Ekaterina Reznik, Marta Fedina, Alina Shinkarenko, Alexandra Kovalenko and Veronika Grishko.

The biggest burden in this championship was with Elizaveta Yakhno, who performed in all types of the program - in groups, duet and solo, and each received a medal.

"I set myself up to go this difficult way to the end, and I believe that I did well. We all performed very well, especially in combi and group ", - noted the sportswoman.

Ahead of the athletes long-awaited vacation, and then - training camps and preparations for new starts, including the 2019 World Cup.
