All sportswomen are pupils or train in our regional sports institutions, in particular, in the Lviv Professional College of Sports and the Lviv School of Higher Sports Mastery. Also, their names are often on the list of those who receive monetary rewards within the framework of the Comprehensive program for the development of physical culture and sports, which has been implemented by the youth and sports management team of Lviv OVA for several years in a row.
“It is especially pleasant that sport is becoming an environment where both the government and business communicate in the same language year after year.” Increasingly, we can see representatives of socially responsible companies among the leadership of national sports federations. In this aspect, the Association of Sports Wrestling is an exemplary case, because it is headed by successful businessmen, philanthropists Yuriy Kopytko and Eduard Proschuk, who are ready to invest not only in European and world level medals, but also in the health of children, the younger generation and the development of mass sports.” , – said the head of the youth and sports department of Lviv OVA Roman Khimyak.
