Volunteer Serhiy Prytula spoke about the charity auction that sold the saber of Olympic champion Olga Harlan.
"The saber of two-time Olympic champion Olga Kharlan was sold at the Charity Prytula online auction for UAH 10 million ($242,424). We have done it. We thank FC Metalist 1925 for the victory! All proceeds will be used to supply Sabre automatic turrets for the infantry units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Many thanks to all the participants and Olga for this wonderful lot," Prytula wrote on his Twitter page.
As a reminder, it was the Harlan saber that the athlete used to compete at the Paris Olympics, where she won bronze and gold medals.
