Harebava started preparing for the Cup of Europe in three weeks. He trained twice a day, at 7:00 and 16:30. I worked over physical preparation, equipment. One week prior to competitions the athlete dolzhenlegky rest and the facilitated occupations.

On the Cup of Europe from Ukraine 25 athletes left. Only two returned with "gold". Harebava in Hungary carried out five fights. Four of them I won ahead of schedule.

"It was most difficult to struggle with the Dutch and the Serbian, - the athlete speaks. - They are more skilled. I won against the Hungarian a semi-final, strange, he was the owner of competitions, but in a hall practically nobody supported it. The British rival in the ending was strong, but it easily was given me, we fought about a minute and I won".

David Harebava started being engaged in judo since five years. On section he was brought by the father. At first the boy perceived trainings simply as entertainment, and gradually, in process of a growing, the understanding came also that judo is something bigger. Even it is more, than simply sports. Now without judo it any more doesn't represent the life.

"I consider that we move well, - the trainer of sports club "Kano" Valery Korsun speaks. - Already from the first championships of Ukraine among children we managed to break through in a presiding echelon of athletes of age. Then we tried to compete with the senior athletes. And now - David is 18 years old, and struggles with athletes till 21 year".

One and a half years ago David had an unpleasant injury of a shoulder. Treatment and restoration lasted year. Now it gradually gathers a form, comes back to the best standards. He already became the champion of Ukraine and the silver prize-winner of Europe on sambo. In the judo championship of Ukraine - the fifth. And here now - an important victory in Hungary.

 "In life or on trainings between us there is no competition, - David Harebava speaks. - We always each other help, we adjust, we do helps during fights. It is very important because from outside it is visible to the person better as you fight and that you should do. So was and in Hungary".

This year Harebava left College of physical training, arrives in Prikarpatsky university on the specialty "Physical Training and Sports". In the morning on July 25 it will be an entrance test, and goes to the Czech Republic on the next Cup of Europe in the evening. The guy says that doesn't think yet that will be after student's life, today is completely concentrated on sports and study. The athlete now should show better than on Cups of Europe to deserve the right to the European championship.

As David Harebava speaks, in judo he considers as the main thing spirituality. If the athlete can't be adjusted on fight, forget about all cares and experiences, it is almost impossible to win, in what form it wouldn't be. Our athlete of Japanese masters is compared.

"David - the hardworking guy, - speaks Valery Korsun. - It doesn't leave trainings, and works at them. I think that ahead of it new successes" wait.
