Ukrainian athletes have shown remarkable courage and determination at the Paris Olympics amidst the ongoing concerns back home regarding Russia's incursion into their country. One such athlete, Zhan Beleniuk, competing in the 87-kilogram wrestling category, is not only representing his nation on the grandest sporting platform but also serves as a member of parliament.
Beleniuk, aiming for a second gold medal, has urged his fellow athletes to demonstrate that 'Ukraine is still alive.' He emphasized the resilience of his country, stating, 'We still protect our land, we still do our job.'
