Judo World Champion Daria Beloded called the countries that offered her to give up Ukrainian citizenship.

"Which countries offered to perform under their flag? Azerbaijan, Georgia, United Arab Emirates. Of course, this is a lot of money, but for me it is not important. The main thing is "gold" when the Ukrainian flag rises. This is more important than money ", - said the 18-year-old athlete.

Ukrainian woman added that despite the problems with funding, she will never renounce citizenship, because she is a patriot.

"I love my country very much, I am a patriot.

Although, of course, we have financial problems. We do not have good Olympic bases, we have very bad conditions. If other countries saw how we train, they would be shocked, "shared Daria.

Recall that in September Beloded won the World Championship in Baku. Daria got the first gold in the history of Ukrainian female judo and became the youngest triumphant in the history of the tournament. And today, October 17, the girl starts at the youth judo world championship.
