Thirty-three Ukrainian athletes have qualified for the Winter Olympic Games taking place in Pyeongchang in South Korea. They will compete in nine out of the 15 featured sports.
This is the sixth time Ukraine has participated in the Winter Olympics since it first began in 1994 to attend top international sporting events as an independent country.
Although Ukraine hasn’t had much luck at the Winter Games in the past, having won only seven medals, the country is pinning hopes on what is traditionally its strongest event – the biathlon.
