Belarus makes serious bid for Olympic pedestal 2020

That is how experts commented on the gold medal of our Anastasia Prokopenko at the World Pentathlon World Championships. The tournament was held in Mexico City. Anastasia managed to win her second gold, because a few days ago, together with Irina Prosentsova, she became the world champion in the women's relay race. The athletes were congratulated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

"I heartily congratulate you on the excellent performance at the World Pentathlon World Championships in Mexico. The gold medal of Anastasia in the personal Olympic format of the program and your joint victory in the relay confirm the high level of the national school of modern pentathlon. I heartedly wish you and the whole team good health and good luck," the congratulation reads.

In an exclusive interview with the TV News Agency, the world champion thanked for the help and support of the head coach of the national team, as well as sports departments that assisted in the preparation for the competition.

Individual World Championship gold for Anastasia Prokopenko is still the best achievement. In Beijing, she stopped a step away from the medal. However, our athlete is again ready to storm the Olympic pedestal.
