Refat Chubarov, Speaker of the Crimean Tatar People's Majlis, Emine Dzheppar, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and Ismail Ramazanov, a former political prisoner, came to support the athlete.

"It's no secret that we can't gather like it used to be in Crimea, but such a small space where everyone from Crimea communicates together, encouraging, inspiring. This is very important for our people", - Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Emine Dzheppar said.

The Speaker of the Mejlis said that he wanted the state flag of Ukraine to be raised as the flag of the winner.

"In the Crimea, when everyone was forced to build houses, settle down, like Ismet and his brother, they raised our children from an early age and Lenur was one of those who grew up in new settlements of the Crimean Tatars. We hope that they will come here and go to Crimea with this gold, thus once again reminding not only themselves but also the occupation authorities of the Russian Federation that Crimea is Ukraine. And such young people confirm it with their actions and achievements", - Chubarov said.
