“Cheerleading is developing quite actively at the national level. A few years ago, the number of participants in the national championship did not exceed two hundred people, but today it is thousands of girls. This growth is due, in part, to the coordinated work of the Lviv Regional Cheerleading Federation and its head, Natalia Blazhko,” said Roman Khimyak, head of the Youth and Sports Department of the Lviv Regional State Administration.
