Olena, the Fairest One of All

In spite of the summer, it is not so hot in the Crimea. And the sea temperature has not yet come to 20 degrees C. Prices are also quite reasonable. We can say the competitors were lucky. With the average daily per-capita accommodations price at the Sevastopol health center 40 hryvnias, they paid 5 hryvnias each. As the health center managers assured us, such discounts for sports persons are planned in the future, too. True, beaches were also far from being crowded. The holiday season has not yet begun, in fact.

As was expected, the Simferopol-based Grace club team topped the tournament. Liubov Serebrianska's pupil Olena Tkachenko came off victorious among adult competitors. In other age categories, too, Crimean girls won high marks.

Although Yalta is not Ukraine's most sports-adapted city, the tournament was held on a high organizational level, which is the great merit of the competition's chief judge Narine Holubovych.
