- I want to thank the fans and our President Alexander Yaroslavsky for the support he has been giving us all this time, and I also want to thank our guys for their dedication. A few rounds ago, we ahead of time became the champions of the country, but our rugby players are professionals, and the remaining matches were held at a high level.. Ahead we have a responsible game for the national team of Ukraine, to which we must approach in the best physical shape, ”commented the head coach of Olimp, Valeriy Kochanov.
