Ukrainian athletes won the first gold medal at the Goodwill Games. Olena Vitrychenko of Kyiv first won a gold medal in the artistic gymnastics (rope) after a long battle with the Russian all-round champion Alina Kabaueva and then added a bronze one with the hoop. 15-year-old Alina responded by winning with the hoop, Indian clubs, and ribon.

Ukraine’s silver medal was won by 10 meter high-board synchronous jumpers Olena Zhupina and Svitlana Serbina (photo), both from Zaporizhzhia.
