Bucha’s kickboxers have returned from the WAKO Kyiv Cup with four medals: two golds, a silver and a bronze. The community was represented at the two-day tournament in the capital by pupils of the Bucha Children’s and Youth Sports School and the Ippon kickboxing club.
Bucha City Council announced the results.
Who won what
| Athlete | Discipline | Place |
|---|---|---|
| Davyd Musoleznyi | kick light | 1 |
| Yaroslav Klymenko | kick light | 1 |
| Kateryna Sytnikova | low kick | 2 |
| Timur Khrianin-Zelinskyi | kick light | 3 |
Kick light is a discipline with controlled-force strikes and no knockouts; low kick is full contact with kicks to the legs. The athletes were prepared for the tournament by coach Roman Kovenia.
The tournament was held by the WAKO Kickboxing Federation of Ukraine in the city of Kyiv. The council noted that despite the difficult circumstances the athletes “showed an iron fighting spirit” and congratulated the winners and their coach.
As a reminder, in August Bucha’s dancers brought seven first places back from Turkey, and Bucha has a rehabilitation unit that also treats children with disabilities.
