Lithuanian president presents perfume to athletes robbed in Rio

Rowers Milda Valčiukaitė and Donata Vištartaitė won Olympic bronze in the Women’s Double Sculls event. Their stay in Brazil started off less successfully, however, when they were robbed of a substantial sum of money and their perfumes in the Olympic village.

“I made a promise and now have to keep it. I had promised to buy perfume to the Lithuanian rowing duo Milda and Donata, if they win medals. The day of reckoning has come :),” Grybauskaitė said on her Facebook feed, also posting a photograph from the President’s Office, with the two Lithuanian athletes holding the president’s presents.
