Javid Hamzatau also made “Olympic choice”

Bronze medalist of the Rio Games 2016 in Wrestling Greco-Roman Javid Hamzatau made his “Olympic choice”.

Javid started his wrestling career in the Mozyr branch of wrestling Greco-Roman of the Gomel Specialized Children and Youth Sports School of the Olympic Reserve. The President’s Sports Club will transfer 7500 Br to the School for its infrastructure modernization and preparations for further competitions.

Hamzatau was the President’s Sports Club scholar in 2010.

We remind that Darya Naumava, Vadzim Straltsou, Aliaksandra Herasimenia and  Uladzislau Hancharou has already made their “Olympic choice”.

According to the terms of the project “Olympic choice”, the President’s sports club will entitle every Olympian in Rio to opt for a specialized children and youth sports school to provide it with financial voluntary sponsorship aid. Then the President’s sports club will transfer a certain sum of money to the account of the school (the sum depends on the athlete or team’s achievements).

The correlation between achievements and sponsorship is as following:

1st place – 15.000 Br

2nd place – 10.000 Br

3rd place – 7.500 Br

According to sources from the President’s sports club, the amount of financial sponsorship aid is increased by 50%. The sports schools will be able to modernize their equipment or encourage more athletes to participation in competitions. “Olympic choice” will be launched under the aegis of the NOC of Belarus and Ministry of Sport and Tourism.
