Two-time Olympic champion and one of the most titled Ukrainian athletes, Olga Kharlan, is not going to end her sports career. On the contrary, the 34-year-old saber fencer is preparing for new starts and plans to compete at the Grand Prix stage in Orleans, France.
Preparing for the new season
The President of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, Vadym Gutzeit, confirmed that Kharlan will participate in the tournament, which will be held from December 5 to 7. This competition became a landmark for Olga last season, when she won silver and began a phenomenal year, culminating in two medals at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Despite the fact that Ukrainian saber fencers are currently not on the list of tournament participants, official statements indicate that Olga is ready for the competition and is determined to achieve high results.
Fake news about Harlan's death
Recently, Olga became a victim of fake information. False news about her death appeared on social networks, which shocked the athlete. In her address, Harlan called on compatriots to check information more carefully, emphasizing the importance of combating misinformation.
