Kyiv native Ihor Parkhomenko has been proclaimed Europe's best archer due to 1998 competitions, while Lina Pavchuk from Chernivtsi ranked third in the list of Artemises. The Day's correspondent asked Ivan Saika, President of the Ukrainian Federation of Archery, to comment.

"What has happened is no surprise. Ihor indeed hit the bull's eye, so to speak, last season. Although he only finished third at the championship of Europe, he then became an indisputable winner of three Grand Prix in Turkey, Germany, and the Czech Republic, the most prestigious competitions in our sport. As for Lina, this Chernivtsi University student went a long way to this success, having won silver medals in the team event at Olympic Games and world championships. Ukrainians do know how to draw a bow. Suffice it to say that our Robin Hoods broke 119 records last season at various-level competitions.
