Regina Abramova Set a Record in Artistic Gymnastics
Five-year-old gymnast Regina Abramova became a record holder in the category of “longest time holding the body in the ‘vertical hang straight inverted’ position.” The girl’s time was 5 minutes and 52 seconds.
This exercise is not part of the women’s gymnastics program but is used by Regina’s coach in her daily training sessions. The task is technically challenging and requires high physical fitness, strength, and endurance.
“Abramova Regina has been studying at the artistic gymnastics department at DYUSSH 1 Lviv since she was 4 years old. Her coach is Oksana Khandoga,” said the head of the department of sports, youth, and tourism of the Lviv Regional State Administration, Roman Khimiak.
