In the Kyiv region, 22 athletes from Olympic, Paralympic, and Deaflympic sports who achieved high results at international competitions were honored. Their coaches were also recognized.
This was reported to KV by acting head of the Kyiv Regional Council Yaroslav Dobryansky.
“Together with the deputy head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration and the head of the youth and sports department of the KODA, Andriy Mykhalchuk, we honored 22 leading athletes of the Kyiv region from Olympic, Paralympic, and Deaflympic sports who showed high results at international competitions, as well as their coaches,” Dobryansky said.
Among those honored were representatives of track and field and weightlifting, boxing, trap and small-bore shooting, judo, Greco-Roman wrestling, rowing, table tennis, triathlon, ballroom dancing, swimming, futsal, and volleyball.
Athletes from the Kyiv region won medals at world and European championships, World and European Cups, international tournaments, and the Deaflympic Games.
In particular, among athletes in Olympic sports, the following were recognized: Lyudmyla Olyanovska, Yevangelina Petruk, Oleksandr Fialko, Kristina Khilchenko, Kateryna Honcharuk, Mariya Pidanova, Denys Tupitskyi, Anastasiia Chyzhevska, Ibragim Nasibov, and Anastasiia Kozyr.
Among representatives of Paralympic and Deaflympic sports, the following were honored: Ivan Mai, Alisa Kolpacchi, Nataliya Bespalova, Lyudmyla Danylina, Vita Oleksiuk, Serhii Ohorodnyk, Illia Yaremenko, Danylo Yefimenko, Renat Bezpalyuk, Anastasiia Strelbytska, Yuliia Vasyanovych, and Inha Semizenko.
“Behind each of these results are years of training, discipline, injuries, unsuccessful starts, constant work on oneself, the ability not to stop when it’s hard. Today, on top of all that, the reality of war has been added. Despite air raid alerts, losses, and constant tension, our athletes continue to train, compete on the international stage, and represent Ukraine in the world,” Dobryansky said.
In addition, under the regional program “Sporty Kyiv region” for 2026–2027 years, winners and prize-winners of international sports competitions and their coaches receive bonuses. The total funding amount is 4 million hryvnias. The size of the bonus for athletes ranges from 15 to 100 thousand hryvnias depending on the level of the competition and the result.
Coaches of the athletes were also recognized during the event. The Kyiv Regional Council noted that payments should apply not only to athletes but also to their mentors who take part in preparing them for international competitions.
