I would like to thank the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee and Visa for their confidence. I was very pleased that they have chosen me among many others and appreciated my athletic achievements. I am very proud of this. Moral support is very important to every athlete, as is other people’s faith in him or her. It inspires you so much that you are ready to move mountains, because half of the success is all about mental attitude. In turn, I will make every effort to achieve my personal best results at the Olympics in Vancouver and as a Sochi 2014 Ambassador.
