Volunteer and founder of the charity foundation Serhiy Prytula announced this on social networks.
Kharkiv football club “Metalist 1925” became the new owner of the Harlan saber.
Thank you Olga for such a valuable artifact. This saber has already brought one victory and its price will soon bring victories on the battlefield. All funds from the sale of the saber will be directed to the purchase of automated turrets “Sabre” for infantry, the foundation noted.
We remind you that Harlan won bronze and gold medals at the 2024 Olympics. She won “bronze” in singles competitions, defeating a South Korean athlete, and “gold” as part of the women's saber fencing team – also in a match against a team from South Korea.
