The Belarus' and international biathlon star gets a hot welcome at Minsk airport after winning two gold medals in Spain.
On April 1, Belarusian biathlete Darya Domrachava was greeted in Minsk National Airport. To greet the possessor of the Big Crystal Globe came Minister of Sport Alyaksandr Shamko, KGB chairman Valer Vakulchyk, first vice-president of the National Olympic Committee Maxim Ryzhankou and Darya's mother. There were also about a hundred supporters of the biathlon Queen.
The athlete should have arrived in Minsk already late at night on March 31. However, the return home for Domrachava was slightly delayed and occurred only on 1 April. At the meeting, the crowd gave her a cake and a portrait.
The 28-year-old Darya Domrachava reached major heights in the women's biathlon. By the end of the season, she won in the overall standing the World Cup and for the first time won the Big Crystal Globe. In 2014, Darya became a triple Olympic champion and Hero of Belarus.
