The WDSF President Shawn Tay commented on the result:
“I'm delighted to witness Marius-Andrei Balan and Khrystyna Moshenska's remarkable journey towards the third place in the IWGA Athlete of the Year Award. I’ve known Marius and Khrystyna for over a decade and have seen them persist through all the triumphs and hardships in their career.
Their global acclaim is in recognition of their sheer hard work, discipline, and dedication, as well as an important indication of the growing popularity of our beautiful, artistic sport.
We, at the WDSF, are very proud of Marius and Khrystyna, and thankful for the recognition from IWGA.”
