The congratulatory message reads, in part:

“Your skills, determination, and will power have allowed the Russian national team to take first place in the overall team rankings. The women’s tennis players and men’s volleyball players had excellent results, and the women’s gymnastics team gave a truly outstanding performance. Your remarkable victories at such a major student sports competition during the Year of Youth serve as a wonderful gift to millions of Russian sports fans.

I am certain that in the future, you will continue to represent our country commendably at a variety of prestigious international competitions.”
