Ukraine has sent 70 athletes to Salt Lake City, where they will compete in eight events during the Winter Olympics from February 8-24. Ukrainians will participate in bobsledding, alpine skiing, ski jumping, figure skating, the luge, the biathlon, speed skating and hockey.

According to the head of the State Committee for Physical Training and Sport, Maria Bulatova, only athletes who got into the top 15during the World Championships will go to the Olympic Games. Initially only 60 Ukrainians were supposed to travel to Salt Lake City, but 10 were added to the list at the last minute.

“A promising figure-skating pair Yulia Holovina and Oleh Voiko from Kharkiv were added to the Ukrainian Olympic team this time”, Ivan Fedorenko, President of the Ukrainian National Olympic Committee said. “Halyna Manyachenko, ladies singles, was accepted to the team after the European Cup, where she showed good results.”

In skiing, Valentyna Shevchenko and Iryna Terelya are considered to have the best chance of winning a medal. “These girls showed very good results at the World Cup and , of course, are first in Ukraine,” said Tetyana Solovey, an administrator for the Ukrainian Skiing Association.
