Over 110 veterans from all over Ukraine. 34 disciplines. Hundreds of kilograms of weight — and willpower that cannot be measured.
The 3rd stage of the Ukrainian Cup in Bogatyrsky all-around among veterans took place in Brovary. Representatives of Svatovoye, in Luhansk Oblast, also joined the large-scale sporting event. Both communities are partners in the project “Side by Side: United Communities”.
The guests were represented by Oleksandr Dubovy, Honored Master of Sports of Ukraine, five-time world champion, three-time European champion and multiple record holder in Bogatyrsky all-around.
For veterans, such competitions are not only about weight, speed or results. They are about recovery, regaining confidence, new goals and adaptation to peaceful life.
They have already proven their strength at the front. Now they are proving again: a Ukrainian defender can be wounded, but cannot be broken.
