Special attention was given to the story of Andrii SHEVCHENKO – multiple champion of Ukraine, Europe, and the world in judo and sambo, and now an instructor at Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs. After sustaining a severe injury during battles near Vuhledar, he returned to coaching and continues competing in adaptive sports, setting an example of courage and resilience.
As part of the event, athletes held an open training session in universal combat, hand-to-hand combat, mixed martial arts, sambo, karate, kickboxing, kettlebell lifting, taekwondo, and Muay Thai. Lyceum students had the opportunity to watch demonstration performances, communicate with athletes, and gain extra motivation for their own training.
The event was also joined by 2024 Olympic Champion Oleksandr KHYZHNIAK, athlete-instructors, and students from various MIA educational institutions. They shared their experiences and emphasized the importance of sports as a component of a healthy and responsible lifestyle.
