Olympic Dreams project judokas Anastasiia Chyzhevska and Anna Oliinyk-Korniiko won silver in the mixed team tournament at the U23 European Championship in Poland.
Anastasiia Chyzhevska's decisive throw secured the Ukrainian team a place in the final. In a tense fight, the Ukrainian team narrowly lost to Georgia with a score of 3:4. Both Anastasiia and Anna won all their bouts on the tatami.
"It is extremely gratifying to see such impressive results from our talented athletes. The success of Anastasiia Chyzhevska and Anna Oliinyk-Korniiko is a clear proof of the importance of our work within the project. The recent training camp in Japan gave them a unique opportunity to prepare for such important races and demonstrate their high level on the European stage. We are proud of their contribution to the sporting glory of Ukraine and believe in even greater victories ahead," said Anatoliy Boyko, initiator and patron of the Olympic Dreams project.
For the second time this month, the project team of Karen Balaian, Oleksandra Starkova and Oleksandra Novikova celebrate the victories of Olympic Dreams athletes after a professional camp in Japan. Serhii Karakin, a participant of the project and the Japanese camp, became the champion of the European Judo Cup among cadets, which took place in the Hungarian city of Gyor.
