Lithuanian Olympic champion Daina Gudzinevičiūtė has donated her gold medal from the Sydney 2000 Olympics to help the people of Ukraine, as the war with Russia continues. Gudzinevičiūtė has donated the prize to ‘Stronger Together’, a cause that has helped Ukrainians since the conflict began.
The Lithuanian became the first female gold medal winner from her nation since becoming independent from the Soviet Union, when being crowned Olympic champion at the Sydney Games at the turn of the millennium.
As well as her success down under, Gudzinevičiūtė competed at another four Olympics at Atlanta in 1996, Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008 and finally London back in 2012. The Lithuanian achieved her success when competing in the trap shooting event.
