President of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine (NOC) Vadim Gutsait did not congratulate Jean Beleniuk on his bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Paris. In particular, congratulating other Olympic medalists, the head of Ukrainian sports ignored this event.
This is evidenced by the Facebook page of Vadim Gutsait, reports ” “URA-Inform”.
As is known, on Thursday, August 8, both Zhan Beleniuk and Parviz Nasibov, who lost in the final of the weight category up to 67 kilograms, received medals, but only Parviz received congratulations.< /p>
It is possible that this situation is connected with the conflict between Beleniuk and Gutzeit, which has been going on since the time when in 2022 it was Zhan who became Vadim's main competitor in the elections for the President of the NOC of Ukraine.
After Beleniuk has repeatedly criticized Gutzeit's work and has not hidden the fact that he wants to take his position in the future, because he sees shortcomings in the current work of the National Olympic Committee and knows how to fix this and make Ukrainian sports more modern and perfect.
It is worth noting that for Beleniuk, the bronze fight in Paris 2024 was the last in his career. After defeating Poland's Arkadiusz Kulinicz, Jean danced the hopak, took a farewell throw from his coach and left his shoes in the center of the mat.
Recall that earlier it was reported that Internet users were angered by the behavior of Maguchikh's fiancé: “Sad for the champion” (video).
