Volynska: a historic medal

Posted on | August 3, 2015 | Category: Arena

Nadiya Volynska has done something no woman from Ukraine has done earlier. “It’s great with the silver medal”, Nadiya smiles.

She is the first woman from Ukraine to take a medal at WOC in foot-orienteering. In central Inverness she got the medal on Monday afternoon. Now she is looking for much more. “I will take part in all the coming races”.

– Oh, that must use some energy?

“Yes, I am glad for the days without races, like Monday”. Also Thursday is a day without a race.

The Ukrainian has for a couple of years had the dream of taking a medal. “Now I hope to also get a medal in the forest”.

Like a lot of others, she hasn’t been so much on training camps in Scotland. There was one last year.
