Raman Yashchanka and Sviatlana Sakhanenka

The medals won by our athletes can be an example of great love to cross country skiing and great willingness to achieving goals. At Polotsk State University Raman Yashchanka was engaged in athletics, cross country skiing. But Raman was more interested in winter sport. It helped him to make his childish dreams come true and become a professional successful sportsman. Congratulations!
