On February 15, the “Olympic Reserves” sports complex hosted the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Judo Championship for juniors under 21. Cadet Oleksandr Yakovlev from the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs (DSUIA) secured second place in the competition.
The tournament brought together over 70 athletes from across the region, competing in various weight categories. After a series of intense bouts, Yakovlev claimed silver in the under 73 kg category.
This regional event served as a qualifying stage for the Ukrainian U21 Judo Championship, set to take place in Uzhhorod in March. There, Oleksandr will compete among the nation’s top athletes.
Congratulations to Oleksandr Yakovlev! Wishing him strength and success in future competitions!
