"He said in Ukrainian, do I want to marry him, nothing else, said Kotsar. He was nervous. It was so cute. I'm still excited and can't understand what happened tonight, because it's two really huge things for me. Kotsar, who finished 11th in qualifying, flashed her sparkling diamond ring as she admitted she didn't expect the proposal. Usually I have some feelings that something great will happen, she said."
"You live without electricity, without heating, without the opportunity to wash your clothes and do some pretty simple things, she said. Usually, most of our training on snow, we do abroad, in Austria, Italy, Switzerland, but I still have enough time in Ukraine to do some gym and trampoline training. Last week Kotsar also made headlines when she revealed that the IOC had barred her from using a custom helmet with the inscription Be Brave like Ukrainians in Milano Cortina."
Kateryna Kotsar qualified for the Olympic big air final, finishing 11th in qualifying. She wrote freedom of memory on her glove to protest the ban of compatriot Vladyslav Heraskevych for wearing images of slain athletes on his helmet. Her boyfriend, Bohdan Fashtryha, proposed during the evening and she accepted, flashing a sparkling diamond ring. Kotsar aimed to complete clean runs to reach the final and will compete against defending champion Eileen Gu and ten other athletes. She described hardships in Ukraine, routine training abroad, and an IOC bar on a custom Be Brave like Ukrainians helmet.
