The World Canoe and Kayak Championships are one of the most prestigious international competitions, bringing together national junior and under-23 teams. This year, representatives from dozens of countries took part, but it was the Ukrainian team that demonstrated the highest level of skill and coordination. The impressive results of the canoe fours were an example of powerful teamwork, and the participation of Poltava Polytechnic students Yaroslav Verbliud and Iryna Nedilko in the crew is clear evidence that the University trains world-class athletes.
We sincerely congratulate Yaroslav and Iryna and their teams on their brilliant performance! We wish them new achievements and confident progress towards Olympic heights!
It should be noted that Anastasiia Kovalenko, a teacher of Poltava Polytechnic, is the European champion in Sports Billiards, and Yaroslav Lystopad, a student of Poltava Polytechnic, is the winner of the Ukrainian Cup in Discus Throw.
