Associate Professor of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of KNURE Elena Tserkovnaya took part in the FIMBA European Maxi-Basketball Championship, held in Athens, Greece.
The KNURE representative competed as part of the Ukrainian national team among women aged 60+.
A large-scale international tournament brought together about 200 teams from 35 countries. Participants competed in age categories from 30 to 85 years old, proving that the love of sports, team spirit and the desire to win have no age limits.
In conditions of a full-scale war, members of the Ukrainian team found themselves in different countries of the world. However, commitment to basketball, long-term friendship and the desire to adequately represent Ukraine helped the athletes unite again on the court.
The Ukrainian team played five matches, scoring three victories. At the end of the championship, the team took ninth place among 15 teams in its age category.
Elena Tserkovnaya’s participation in the international tournament is not only a significant sporting achievement, but also a convincing example for student youth. Constantly train, maintain proper physical shape, participate in European championships and remain active at any age – this is how the understanding of sport as an inseparable part of life is confirmed.
A teacher’s personal example is one of the best ways to motivate students to engage in physical education, be responsible for their own health, and have an active lifestyle.
We congratulate Elena Tserkovnaya on her worthy performance on the European stage and wish her new sporting achievements, good health, inexhaustible energy and further victories!
Let there be more and more strong, healthy and active people in Ukraine!
