This time we are expecting medals from hammer thrower Ivan Tsikhan, shot putters Nadzeya Ostapchuk and Natallia Mikhnevich, Natalia’s husband Andrei Mikhnevich, the 2003 World Shot Put champion, and also World Race Walk silver medallist Rita Turova.”

“We hope women’s hammer thrower Aksana Miankova and Decathlete Andrei Krauchanka will also show good results.”^[2]
