Ukrainian diary: 'Irish coaches helped me win international gold in taekwon-do'
Before the war broke out, I was training for two championships in taekwon-do. On February 26 last year, the regional championship was due to be held in Zhytomyr, followed the next month by the national championship. But on February 28, my sister Vladana (7), my mother Oksana and I had to leave Kyiv. We went to Poland on March 5, so I couldn’t participate in the championships as planned.
