PUTIN GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE IN FRONT OF THE ATHLETE 💔

Original caption

Tokyo 2021. Russia's Paralympic team came home with an incredible 118 medals - 36 gold, 33 silver, and 49 bronze. It was a record-breaking performance for the team at the Paralympic Games. Just days later, on September 13, 2021, the medalists were invited to the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin personally presented state awards to Paralympic champions and congratulated the team on their performance. The athletes in these images competed with different disabilities, overcoming enormous challenges on their way to the podium. 118 medals. 17 world records. And a Kremlin reception waiting for them back home. #putin #respect #kindness #russia #leadership
