Today Belarusian Olympic team returns home

27 февраля 2018

Sportsmen, coaching staff, medical and administrative groups have departed fr om Abu Dhabi. A lot of people await them at the National Airport.

At these moments our team is working there.

Our correspondent Alexander Smirnov live: We are waiting for a grand sports event – despite the fact that the Olympics are over. Our team is returning back to its homeland today. The excitement is so great.

There are only 70 accredited journalists. Our channel alone operates three cameras, in addition to colleagues from other companies, writing media and news agencies. And of course our Olympic team will be met by relatives, fan clubs, representatives of youth organizations and other sport fans. Surely, many SELFI hunters will also be there, so that is why National Airport today becomes the sports center of the country. At the last moment, the organizers moved the event from the VIP-hall, wh ere usually such important meetings take place, to the Parliament hall, simply because this room can accommodate all comers.

So, today biathlon, speed skating, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing teams and also medical and administrative groups return back to their homeland. Of course, the greatest interest and attention will be paid to our golden four – Olympic champions Darya Domracheva, Nadezhda Scardino, Irina Krivko and Dinara Alimbekova. The participant of short track Maxim Sergeev arrived yesterday. We meet 25 sportsmen today. Our skaters Marina Zueva and Vitaly Mikhailov also come back.

There is less than an hour till our Olympians arrival. The flight from Abu Dhabi to Minsk is scheduled for 12:40.
