Olympic fencing champion Olena Kravatska told about her meeting with the head of the Odesa Regional State Administration Oleh Kiper and an unexpected gift from him, UNN reports .

"We walked into the office and were handed certificates for the apartments. We were in shock, but very pleasant! Thank you very much, Oleg Alexandrovich," she wrote on her Instagram. 

As a reminder, Kiper recently handed over the keys to the apartments to Olympic champions Olena Kravatska and Alina Komashchuk . The apartments in Odesa were not purchased for budgetary funds. A businessman who had previously purchased an apartment for the family of a deceased paramedic helped to buy the apartments for the athletes.

Kravatska and Komashchuk won team gold in Paris.
