The strongest were determined in four sports: sitting volleyball, table tennis, rowing on a simulator and cycling on a simulator.
Pavlo Luchkiv participated in table tennis and exercise bike racing. Roman Panchenko competed in rowing on a simulator.
Sergiy Kalitiuk and Dmitry Kozak won gold medals in the table tennis singles competition in their respective categories. Dmytro and Sergiy also won gold in the doubles competition.
“Sport is a powerful physical and psychological rehabilitation for military veterans, and this is understood all over the world. That is why we have created a project of sports opportunities for our soldiers in Lviv region – the League of the Unconquered.
I would like to remind you that you can practice any adaptive sport that is being developed in a number of regional sports schools for free. We invite you to join us,” says Roman Khimyak, Head of the Youth and Sports Department of the Lviv Regional Military Administration.
