Olympics 2024. Olga Harlan brought Marichka Padalko to tears with the reaction of her beloved husband to her bronze medal: what Luigi Samele wrote

Famous Ukrainian TV presenter Marichka Padalko got emotional while talking to sabre fencer Olga Harlan, who won bronze at the 2024 Olympics. The 48-year-old woman got teary-eyed when she read out a fragment of correspondence with the athlete's Italian boyfriend Luigi Samele, where he said he had never doubted his beloved's abilities.

A touching moment took place during an interview with the champion for TSN. The journalist noted that she was pleasantly surprised by the man's opinion of his girlfriend and Ukrainians in general.

According to Marichka Padalko, when she saw the post in which Luigi Samele congratulated his beloved on winning the bronze medal, she immediately contacted him to find out his impressions of the victory: "He wrote: "I never doubted it. She was born for this."

However, the TV presenter was most impressed by the words of the Italian athlete, in which he described the resilience and indomitability of our people.

"Thanks to her, I learned to fight to the end. She did it because she is Ukrainian, and you never give up," he said.

As a joke, Marichka Padalko added that in her opinion, Olga Harlan is a great person, because she was able to "raise the guy" so that he fully understood the character of Ukrainians.
