Ukrainian rowing coach and historian Gennadii Ochkalenko sent us this photo with the following caption:
This is the training of Ukrainian ergo rowers in the national training center today. You only see monitors. They are not allowed to turn on the lights in the evening: blackout.
More from Gennadii:
This photo of the Ukrainian National Rowing Team training was taken today at the Ukrainian National Training Center in Koncha-Zaspa, near Kiev; the photo is by the Kherson region Rowing Federation President Igor Garagulya.
Kherson city was liberated from invaders, but the invaders are hitting the city every day. There the entire sports and rowing structure was destroyed to the ground.
I want to show to the rowers in the world that Ukrainian rowing is alive, even able to train in such hellish conditions.
