The multi-sport competition HART has concluded in Kyiv, where patrol officer Stepan Vasylenko became a contender for the national veterans’ team.
HART is the largest adaptive sports event for veterans and veteran women in Ukraine. Over 300 participants from different regions of the country tested their skills in nine adaptive sports disciplines. Among them were wheelchair basketball and rugby, sitting volleyball, archery, rowing on a simulator, laser-run, powerlifting, cycling, and swimming.
