The best mountain skier in the country, A. Drukarov, 22, surprised the sports fans of the country. The latter admitted that he preferred to live in Switzerland rather than in his native Vilnius. Not only that, the athlete is not even going to return to Lithuania and is grateful to the foreign state for everything.
“It feels like home here and will always stay if it can,” reads the text.
“I really like Ticino. I think I have adapted perfectly here and I will never leave Switzerland, ”said the Lithuanian.
The latter also spoke about Vilnius.
“Comparing Vilnius and Ticina, these are completely different worlds. When I was a child, I lived in a Soviet apartment, there were few opportunities. Not only that, we had to be careful when playing in the courtyards because there were a lot of syringes on the ground. This is bad “Nobody wants their children to live in such an environment. I lived in a small apartment with my grandmother and my great-grandmother. My father is Russian, but I never met him,” said the athlete.
A. Drukravov speaks Italian well, because he has lived abroad since his earliest childhood.
“My mother left Lithuania for Coma when I was one year old. So it was almost impossible to earn a living in Lithuania. I came to visit her in the summers. We often spent our holidays in Blen Valley,” says the boy.
It was there that A. Drukarov made the first attempts to ski. At the age of five, the boy started cross-country skiing, but then tried more winter sports before finally settling on downhill skiing.
2009 he moved to Switzerland with his mother. Then he began to ski more seriously, attended training sessions.
He is currently part of the Swiss ski team.
“I am very grateful that Switzerland gave me everything I never dreamed of, it gave me a life that I couldn’t have had anywhere else,” Drukarov said.
It seems that the young man forgot that he debuted at the Pyongyang Olympics in 2018 just because he is Lithuanian, because the competition here is not very good, making it easier to get to the Olympics.
He then ranked 41st in the Slalom event and 59th in the Grand Slalom event.
Despite the fact that A. Drukravoas trains his entire career abroad, the work of his trainers is funded by the Lithuanian National Ski Association.
The president of the Lithuanian National Ski Association reacted calmly
Portal lrytas.lt The president of the Remigijus Arlauskas association was contacted on Thursday morning, who was already aware of the situation caused by the stallion.
“It just came to our attention then. We analyzed the situation. The Italian article, translated into Lithuanian, can be understood in different ways, perhaps not in the way the Swiss or Italians understand it. The athlete himself prepares to refute some of the accusations. It will say what has not been understood or misinterpreted. ” lrytas.lt R. Arlauskas said.
According to the president, he reacted calmly to the athlete’s ambiguous thoughts.
“There is no way that there is injustice in any part of the text. It cannot be said that it degrades Lithuania. There are certain things, a person spends a lot of time abroad, does not live in Lithuania. Also, she described her childhood, perhaps for someone sensitive to her. Many people lived that way, maybe someone is living even worse now. Basically, everything is normal for me there, ”said R. Arlauskas.
