We're training.

Yeah.
00:15
We trained really hard.
00:16
It was tough.
00:18
We've just kind of started our taper now.
00:19
Our first kind of seven days there were hard.
00:20
Big double days.
00:21
We had an opportunity to do a scratch match against Ireland and Uruguay.
00:22
So it's good to get a bit of a hit out.
00:23
Get some hits in the body to just familiarize ourselves.
00:24
Yeah.
00:25
We're feeling good.
00:26

00:55

It's time to go to sleep. So definitely just gonna keep ourselves occupied, you know getting to see everything here at the village
01:23
I'm in Paris when things big here. So it'll be you know, definitely a lot of history here and I love Paris
01:28
So I'm excited to see the city
01:30
Moscow, Ukraine
01:44
To be honest for every Ukrainian, I think it's an honor to represent my country
01:51
As I said, it's an honor and we will show you a good result
01:57
It will give motivation to someone who is not enough.
02:05
When there is a war in our country, sport is like a representative of the embassy,
02:15
like a representative of the country that carries the flag of peace.
02:20
Sportsmen have always been the first to see that our people are peaceful people,
02:33
and we are only for freedom, so that we live calmly and independently,
02:40
and solve all our problems ourselves.
