A master of the track and field athletics sport, the triple jumper Violetta Skvortsova is on the awardees list, too. She was awarded for successful performance at multiple international competitions and for demonstrating her active civic position and a respectful attitude to Belarus’ national symbols. During an award ceremony held as part of the U20 European Track and Field Championships she walked off the field because some other country’s anthem was played instead of Belarus’. The YouTube video of this occurrence had 8.3 million views and some 17,000 comments.
