A global Olympic partner for more than 30 years and Paralympic partner since 2003, Visa founded its Team Visa program in 2000, with the aim of providing athletes with the tools, resources and support they need to achieve their lifelong dreams, both on and off the field of competition, regardless of their origin or background. The choice of members to Team Visa is based on such criteria as the athletes’ personal road to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, sport achievements and involvement in the social life of the country. The team has already united more than 300 talented participants.

Darya Domracheva is the third athlete of the Belarusian Olympic team in Team Visa. Visa earlier sponsored Aleksei Grishin and Aleksandra Gerasimenya in their preparations for the Olympic Games.
