UKRAINIAN FOOTBALL TEAM HAS BECAME THE MOST TITLED IN THE PARALYMPICS GAMES HISTORY

Ukraine's national football team (format 7x7) has won gold at Paralympics 2016. After this win the Ukrainian team has become the most titled in the history of the competitions. Now the Ukrainian national team has three gold and two silver medals in its asset, which has brought our paralympians to the first spot in this discipline, previously the first position was ranked by the Netherlands team.

However, gold medals in football isn't the only success of our paralympians at the games of 2016. In the general standings the Ukrainian paralympic team has taken third place with 72 medals (27 gold, 20 silver and 24 bronze). At the Paralympics of 2016 our athletes have surprised and impressed the world with their results. In just one day of the games our paralympic had won more medals than the Ukrainian olympians during the whole Olympic Games in Rio.

At least, we can remember the competitions on swimming at 200 meters, where our athletes took  all of three top places. Or Igor Kvitiv, a 24-year-old runner, who showed a superhuman speed and set two world records at once. 

And finally the country's top persons drew attention at our paralympians, the president wrote on his Facebook, that he is proud of our paralympic team. Undoubtedly these words are pleasant for our athletes, but it would be definitely better to increase the state funding for sport. 

Indeed, these people have shown an excellent result despite everything; they have proved once again that they can fight and win despite health problems and physical disabilities!
