A well-known Ukrainian public figure and volunteer Alexei Mochanov met a former boxer Wladimir Klitschko on one of Kiev's beaches. After the ending his boxing career Klitschko now switched to volleyball.

"I decided to go to one of the beaches within the Kiev city limits, sit, look at the water, think. I settled at the edge of the beach volleyball court. Closer to the evening, the guys and girls gathered, with a coach and a string of balls. Worked as a professional sports team, coaches obeyed unquestioningly, carried out the whole volume with a desire and without anchors. I noticed that one of the guys in the cap, larger than the others, was as Apollo, plowing like a bulldozer. Against the sun it was not very well seen at first, but then he went under a canopy for a minute - it turned out that it was Wladimir Klitschko himself. In the general team, on general grounds, without any complaints and even a hint of a special attitude towards yourself, pathos or a anything else. Doing the same amount of warm-ups and training work. He received comments when he squinted, encouraged everyone on both sides of the court with his example and a kind word, a timely kindly joke and attitude to work in sports," Mochanov said.
