Olga Kharlan, a 34-year-old Ukrainian saber fencer who won bronze and gold for Ukraine at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, is getting married. The athlete shared the good news on her Instagram and even showed a photo of her engagement.
Olga’s fiancé, 37-year-old Italian fencer Luigi Samele, decided to propose to the Ukrainian on the beach. He presented her with a white gold ring with a round-cut diamond. Before this important step, the couple had been dating for 6 years. It had gone through many challenges together, such as distance and the Covid pandemic.
Daria Bilodid, Oleg Verniaev, Yulia Levchenko, Angelika Terliuga, Victoria Tkachuk, and other colleagues have already congratulated the couple in their comments.
We remind you that Olga and Luigi first met almost 20 years ago at a competition in France. However, the couple began their relationship in 2018. Before that, Harlan was married to Ukrainian fencer Dmytro Boyko.
