POWER LIFTING

13 November, 2012 - 00:00

Ukrainian power lifters came in only fourth in the European championship in Germany. Viktoriya Rudenko of Chernihiv was fourth in females weighing over 75 kilograms and Stanislav Rybalchenko of Sviatove (Luhansk oblast) failed to win the bronze in the under 94 kg. category because of his own overweight. The bronze went to the ex-Soviet power lifter Akakios Kakiashvilis, who now has a Greek passport. The team tournament results were even worse: the men ranked 15 out of 33 and women 9 out of 19. However, we should note that our top stars did not take part, and the women participated in only three categories out of seven.
