She’s great, she’s not afraid, she moves forward in her dreams. She participated in the Olympics several times, but never managed to win gold. She tries ! And this shows that the athlete must perform well. And Yulia Efimova is a real athlete! And those who find excuses not to go because of this, that, that, open your eyes and look out the window,” Guberniev told .
