Ihor Tsvetov’s gold medal in the 100m has lifted Ukraine in the overall medal standings of the Paralympic Games, reports Komersant ukrainskyi
After five days of competition, Ukraine ranks tenth with 5 gold, 12 silver and 18 bronze medals.
In addition to Igor Tsvetov, Oksana Zubkovska won gold in the long jump, as well as swimmers Oleksandr Komarov (100m freestyle), Denys Ostapchenko (50m backstroke) and Mykhailo Serbin (100m backstroke).
There are still 6 more competition days ahead, so Ukrainian athletes have every chance to improve Ukraine’s position in the medal standings. It is noteworthy that our team has won a lot of silver and bronze medals, so if there is an equal number of gold medals, Ukraine will definitely be ahead of its rivals.
