The event was organized by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine with the support of the charitable foundation “Come Back Alive.”
Oleh Sakhnov is a military veteran who has been defending Ukraine since 2014. As a result of russia’s full-scale invasion, he suffered a musculoskeletal disorder but became passionate about adaptive sports. Oleh regularly attends table tennis training at DSUIA and participates in competitions. Recently, he discovered wheelchair rugby.
The competition took place in Kyiv at the end of August. Eight veteran teams from across Ukraine competed for the championship. Oleh Sakhnov’s team won gold, and he was awarded the medal by the Minister of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine, Nataliia Kalmykova.
Oleh shared that before the competition, participants attended training camps where they tried their hand at golf, water skiing, and other sports.
Congratulations to Oleh, and we wish him new athletic achievements!
