OURS ABROAD

OURS ABROAD

The following story proves the indomitability not only of our defenders, but also of the growing generation, the nation as a whole!

Here is a direct speech from the client of the club, Elina Polonska:

«About sports and support.

When the war started, my children constantly asked what they could do to help their Ukraine. My answer was and remains the same: Ukrainian children all over the world should now demonstrate their education, gratitude to the country that received them, study well, master Ukrainian perfectly, and show their uniqueness and power with any achievements. Children from Ukraine are now the face and future of Ukraine, they are the secret weapon of our country in the international political arena.

Currently, my children feel like ambassadors of Ukraine in Cyprus.

The son continues to swim. Our coach Krylov Ivan from the «5 element» club found us a local professional coach (athletes have their people in any country).

The daughter continues to do rhythmic gymnastics. Having no idea about rhythmic gymnastics in Cyprus, google led me to the strongest club to the head coach of the Cyprus national team. At the very first training, the daughter met a 14-year-old talented Ukrainian gymnast, Darynka, who has lived in Cyprus with her parents for many years. Darinka took charge of Mariyka, began to teach her new elements, even gave her a demonstration performance on the Ukrainian theme. During the year, Mariyka and her coaches mastered many complex elements, learned new programs, with which she successfully performed at various club competitions in artistic gymnastics in Cyprus, won team gold at the Cyprus championship in aesthetic gymnastics.

And for a few weeks, that’s why we started teaching online in competitions in our favorite club «5 element». We were very happy to see all the girls and their performances, albeit online. We really miss the whole friendly gymnastics family of the club.

Special thanks to our first coach Olga Bogharad. When the local coaches saw us, they couldn’t believe that in Kyiv we practiced only 3 times a week.

We are proud of our country and with great gratitude to Cyprus, we are preparing for the next competitions!»
