Ukraine’s world-class master of sports in freestyle wrestling (72
kg), Vaschuk, received a one-room apartment, while Ukraine’s world-class
master of sports in freestyle wrestling (63 kg), Ostapchuk, got a
two-room apartment, reads a statement posted on the Web site of the
Ukrainian government on Wednesday.

The regional governor noted that the Volyn athletes had already begun to prepare for participation in the next Olympics.

“We are betting on such sports as freestyle wrestling, rowing,
cycling, weightlifting and boxing. Particular emphasis will be placed on
the development of women’s volleyball. To realize these plans we [need
to] have skilled children, good coaches, serious financing and modern
sports facilities. Such an approach will yield positive results,”
Klymchuk said.
