The bronze medal at the Olympic Games in London was given to the Polish surfer Zofia Noceti-Klepatskaya uneasy - before that, she had never managed to achieve significant results in competitions of this level. It is all the more surprising that immediately after the end of the games she decided to sell her victory symbol.

Zofia Noceti-Klepatskaya, bronze medalist of the XXX Olympic Games, announced this decision at the Warsaw airport to all the journalists and fans who met her. The reason for this unexpected act was her five-year-old neighbor Zuzya, who suffers from cystic fibrosis - a serious genetic disease characterized by impaired respiratory and gastrointestinal tract functions.
According to the athlete, this girl is her most loyal fan, who also spends her whole life in a serious struggle. She only fights for the right to live.
Even before the start of the Olympics, Nocheti-Klepatskaya promised the girl that she would definitely win this medal for her sake. And then they will sell it, buy a large bouncy castle with a slide, and each fall will be spent in warm places so that the girl gets better. Perhaps this will to some extent help the baby to deal with a terrible diagnosis. It is especially valuable that she won this victory with great difficulty, since earlier Zofia was not able to achieve high results at the Olympic Games, and her opponents this time were very strong.
The time and place of the auction at which the auction for the bronze medal of the Olympics 2012 will be held has not yet been determined, however, everyone is sure that the athlete will surely keep her promise. Zofia Nocechi-Klepatskaya has long been involved in charity work, participating in many public events that help children from orphanages and poor families. And in 2006, she founded a fund to support talented youth.
The family of the 26-year-old Polish athlete also played a large role in the victory for third place. Zofia’s husband, Argentine Luciano Noceti, decided to leave his sports career so that she could return to big sport after the birth of her son Mariano. And most importantly - to achieve one of the main victories in your life.
