The message reads, in part:
“Your team has excelled to great heights in all the games of the continental championship and demonstrated great sportsmanship, concentration and will in tense competition with strong and renowned competitors. You wrote another page into the history of national sport.
I am certain that in the Olympic Games in London you will once again reaffirm the high status of our national basketball school.
I would like to wish you new accomplishments, good health and all the best.”
