Filat thanked trainers, doctors and other members of the Olympic team for their work and support offered to the sportsmen.

Filat said that during the next days, wrestler Iaroslav Musinschi will be also handed prize for ranking 25 at the marathon.

Weight lifters Cristina Iovu and Anatol Ciricu bringing bronze medal from the Olympiad were also handed documents on ownership for a flat in Chisinau.

The head of the National Olympic Committee, Nicolae Juravschi, said that the Moldovan sportsmen have been backed by the state over the past two years. He said that the state budget earmarked 10 million lei in this respect.

Nicolae Juravschi handed a honour diploma and an olympic badge to Filat for his contribution to the Moldovan sportsmen's participation in the Olympic Games in 2012.

Cristina Iovu thanked for the appreciation and support on behalf of the government, Filat and all the supporters.
