“My Olympic medals won’t matter if Ukraine can’t stand for this fight for freedom and independence,” two-time canoe champion Yuri Cheban said.
Ukraine's Iurii Cheban celebrates on the podium after the Men's Canoe Single 200m final at the Lagoa Stadium during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro on August 18, 2016.
Cheban won Olympic gold in the 200 meters in 2012 and 2016 and a bronze in the 500 meters in 2008. SCP Auctions, which is conducting the sale, expects the gold medals to fetch in the neighborhood of $75,000 each, an impressive estimate buoyed by the relative scarcity of available recent medals, and also their meaning.
