“Well, except Russian and Ukrainian I have some acquaintance with the English and Polish languages, I mean, I can understand the general sense of what is being said. Unfortunately, I was not good at English at school. On the other hand, I must say that I didn’t pay due regard to it because I saw no reason why a resident of Ivano-Frankivsk may need it. And when I started going to sporting events I have regretted that I didn’t study it. There were many sportsmen from the former Soviet Union countries such as Baltic Countries, Russia and Ukraine. That is why we could understand each other well using Russian and there was no communication issues”, states the world champion Vasyl Virastyuk.
