“I desired a lot to win this award. In 2014, I took the second spot in these rankings. Now I hoped I will be named the best. I’m very glad. I thank all those who support me as I had harder moments too,” Victor Ciobanu stated for IPN.

The coach of the national Greco-Roman wrestling squad Mihai Cucul was conferred the title of best coach, while the national beach soccer team of Moldova was named the best team.
