– Can you remember in detail the golden final of the Olympic Games? We lost against the Germans there with a score of 2:3, but miraculously escaped.
“At one point, there was even a scare. But when we equalized in the last seconds, everyone had an emotional explosion. And after that, I realized that we definitely won’t lose. But still, somewhere inside, when we lost, and even that we remained in the minority, it was scary.
