PARIS — Ukraine 's success in securing three Olympic athletics medals "creates an explosive emotional effect" and a reminder to the world that the war with Russia is still raging, acting president of the country's athletics federation Olha Saladukha told AFP. Ukraine enjoyed a Super Sunday which saw Yaroslava Mahuchikh take gold in the high jump while Iryna Gerashchenko claimed bronze.Minutes later, Mykhaylo Kokhan came third in the men's hammer.
"The development of each athlete requires significant investments —not only financial but also physical and emotional efforts, as well as time."When Russia kills our athletes, a part of our potential dies with them."'Extra motivation'Saladukha said the losses had other knock-on effects."Someone's record will not be set, someone's victory at a championship or the Olympics will not happen, and a new sports school will not be created," she said.
