They have both qualified for the European Games to be held in Minsk, Belarus at the end of June.

The European Games, he added, has been one of his goals for the current year and he is happy to have been able to cross it out of his list.
-I am very happy to qualify for the European Games and really excited to play in Minsk and perform my best at this multisport event.
