It is gratifying to note that graduates of the Lepel Olympic Reserve Youth Sports School have once again brought fame to the Lepel region. As part of the BNTU team, Anastasia Sharamet and Anastasia Mazgo became champions of the republic among adults and holders of the Republic of Belarus Handball Cup. The girls were awarded the titles of Masters of Sport of the Republic of Belarus in Handball. The girls' first instructors were Leonid Rozhkov, coach of the Olympic Reserve Youth Sports School.
Heights are conquered by the diligent. May this honorary title become a successful stage for the athletes on their path to new victories!
