RIGA (FIBA Hall of Fame) - The president of Latvia Valdis Zatlers and the president of Latvian Basketball Federation Ojars Kehris have visited the best Latvian basketball player of all times - Uljana Semjonova.
Both presidents congratulated Uljana on her induction into FIBA Hall of Fame and wished a quick recovery from her medical problems.
Only a few days ago Semjonova returned home from hospital and will not be present to accept her award in Spain, therefore she entrusted Ojars Kehris to represent her at the event. A special video greeting from Ulja and archive materials of her best game moments will be shown at the ceremony.
The hostess and the guests had a lot to talk about during the meeting. Both Valdis Zatlers and Ojars Kehris have also been playing basketball for their faculty teams at university and have even met on court a couple of times.
The presidents wished Ulja the strength to overcome her illness and the courage to undergo the needed operation. They also pointed out the great role of Uljanas' support to EuroBasket Women 2009 that for the first time will take place in Latvia.
