Dmytro Polovych made a historic lift at the World Championship in Hungary, recording a weight of 105 kg in the 'deadlift' event. He was one of only three Paralympians who participated in such competitions in the classic powerlifting subtype.
'This is not just a weight on the bar, but a great responsibility for the nation and the support of the fans,' the athlete emphasized.
Dmytro Polovych expressed great gratitude to his coaches and the support he felt during the competitions. His achievement has become a significant feat in the history of sports for people with cerebral palsy.
At the Champions League final ceremony in Hungary, Mykhailo Paliy, a 10-year-old boy fighting cancer and involved in amputee football, made an appearance. He was identified as a symbol of struggle and resilience during sporting events.
Marynka, a patient at Okhmatdyt with a prosthesis, set a national record by descending a ski slope at the age of eight. Her achievement is recorded in the World Record Book and is a significant contribution to the development of adaptive sports in Ukraine.
Dmytro Polovych, Mykhailo Paliy, and Marynka are examples of incredible strength of spirit and will to win in Ukrainian sports. Their achievements open new horizons for the sports development of people with disabilities and are a great inspiration for all sports fans.
