Today, on August 6, the legendary Ukrainian athlete, a great man, a good friend, mentor, would have turned 34 years old.

Many of us saw how he grew up and became a champion, and grew up with him, took something from him, learned from his example, were inspired by his achievements. We rejoiced at his victories, we were sad with him during times of failure.

There is no person who would be indifferent to Andrey.

Champion, we are grateful to you for the lessons that you taught us.

Happy birthday, Andrey.
