Ukraine's first medal of the 2024 Olympics belongs to women's fencer Olga Kharlan, but she insists it is for more than just herself.
Kharlan beat South Korea's Choi Sebin 15-14, coming back from a six-point deficit, for the women's saber fencing bronze medal on Monday. She then dedicated the medal to her country amid its ongoing war with Russia.
"I brought a medal to my country, and it's the first one, and it's going to be a good start for all our athletes who are here because it's really tough to compete when in your country is at war," Kharlan told reporters after the match. "Every medal, it's like gold. I don't care (that) it's bronze. It's gold."
