“President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered me, in the whole field of sports, to prepare our team for the Olympic Games in Paris. It is very important for us so that we do not lose our elite athletes, do not lose competition in federations. To have athletes who can compete with each other, because without competition there is no strong team. Therefore, we are working now to ensure that our team performs worthy in Paris, “said the minister.

“Athletes in many sports return and train in Ukraine. Individual federations, which, for example, do not have training bases here or have better conditions abroad, train there. This is normal. It is understandable we are calmer there, there is always light, no wind The main thing is that the athletes keep doing their job, keep the sports front! said Gutzeit.
It was previously reported that Ukrainian volleyball players for the first time since 1996 could play in the Olympics.
