By the way, the Ukrainian athlete Yury Cheban became the winner in race on 200 meters of canoe singles. However, "Ukrposhta" doesn't have to this event any business. And if not the project "Photo stamp" about which website “UkraFil” reported in release of September 2, 2012, the gold medal of the Ukrainian oarsman in general would remain unnoticed. Such now times!
