The Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, together with the Strongman Federation of Ukraine, the special operations battalion «Aeneas» of the National Police Brigade «Liut», co-organized the team record of Ukraine in the multiple repetitions of the deadlift (fixed weight of 50, 75, 100 kg for each athlete to choose from) with a time limit of 60 minutes.
The event was attended by veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war who were rehabilitated with the help of adaptive sports or are currently training at the university’s locations under the guidance of certified instructors of the department of special physical and premedical training.
Despite their injuries and wounds, the defenders of Ukraine demonstrated the unbreakable spirit and endurance with every approach to the barbell. Gritting their teeth, overcoming pain and fatigue, they purposefully went to their goal.
The record was set with the active support of their comrades-in-arms, families of the military, teachers and cadets of the university. The DonSUIA sports hall was buzzing with emotions. The atmosphere was tense, but at the same time full of hope and faith in their victory over themselves.
