The team of Ski and Biathlon club Feldman Ecopark took first place in the summer biathlon Championship of the Kharkiv region, which was held last Saturday. More than 100 young athletes of the Kharkiv region as well as their age-mates from the Volyn oblast participated in these competitions organized by the Biathlon Federation of the Kharkiv region and the Ukrainian East Centre for Olympic Winter Sports Training.
“We are proud of results of our children! They showed worthy results and became prizewinners of competitions: Solomiia Shulga won the 2nd place, while Ann Tykhanovska was 3rd among girls. David Bessonov and Oleksii Shyp got “bronze”. Our Club sidestepped rivals and became the champion of the region in team classification!” — the head of Feldman Ecopark Ski and Biathlon Club Svitlana Ilyinskikh shared good news.
It should be noted that within the competition regulation, its participants overcame a cross-country distance in their age group and carried out air rifle shooting in a prone position. The participants had five ball-cartridges to strike five targets. For each miss the athlete overcame a penalty loop.
