This was reported by the Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration and Chief of the Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin.
Following his triumph in the individual competition, Rudnev contributed to the victory in the team combat sambo tournament. In the semifinals, the Ukrainian team defeated Uzbekistan, and in the finals, they proved stronger than the athletes from Kazakhstan.
Every appearance at the top of the international podium, and every moment when the blue-and-yellow flag flies and Ukraine’s national anthem is played, fills us with deep pride for our athletes!
“I am proud of Vladyslav Rudnev — multiple World and European Champion, and a scholarship holder of the Donetsk Regional State Administration!
We wholeheartedly support the remaining seven athletes from Donetsk region competing at the World Games — Anastasiia Derevianko, Volodymyr Rysiev, Kostiantyn Musiienko, Oleksii Bychkov, Daria Rusanenko, Valentyna Zahoruiko, and Andrii Shevchenko, who will compete in powerlifting on August 16–17!” Filashkin emphasized.
