“Every country is proud of its champions. For a country like Moldova, such results are all the more important,” Maia Sandu said.

“Through your achievements, the world learns about Moldova, about the talented and ambitious people we have, and about what we can accomplish when we work with determination,” the head of state noted.
Maia Sandu said that, in recent years, the way the state supports sport had also been changing. Funding is increasingly allocated according to the specific characteristics and performance of each sport, while athletes benefit from scholarships and better conditions for training and participating in international competitions.
