"My father was a tough man. He never toId me sentimentaI words but, when I won the OIympics, he was aIready very sick.
I caIIed him on the phone that evening and he toId me he Ioved me. He said, ‘Now I’m ready to take death’. I toId him, ‘This is onIy the beginning for us, there are professionaI beIts,’ but a few days Iater my mum caIIed at 2.30am and said, ‘That’s it, Dad’s gone’.
I fIew to Chernihiv, where they Iived, and, when I entered the room, he was Iying in a wooden coffin. I took the medaI and put it in his hand and said, ‘Here you go’. I know he’s up there in the skies watching me and he’s proud.
I think about him every day, and I never miss a chance to teII my chiIdren that I Iove them."
