The city of Lviv hosted the Winter Ukrainian Triathlon (Aquathlon) Championship for Age Groups, which became one of the most large-scale off-season events on the national calendar

Women’s Race
The women’s competition was dominated by Dana Soroka of Lviv, who confirmed her status as one of Ukraine’s leading athletes. Soroka recently concluded her international season at World Triathlon Cup events in Chile, where she proved competitive against elite opposition and added valuable points to her world ranking.
In the swimming pool, Soroka was simply untouchable. On the run, however, she was pushed hard by Margaryta Menshikova from the Donetsk region, who ultimately secured the silver medal. The fight for third place in the overall standings unfolded between Mariia Ivashchenko of Poltava and Kateryna Kyrylovych of Zhytomyr, with Ivashchenko carrying a decisive advantage into the run and successfully defending it through to the finish.

Together with Dana Soroka, all these athletes competed in the Youth “A” age category.

Among the U23 women, victory went to Anastasiia Snesar of Cherkasy, while the podium was completed by Oleksandra Todorova of Lviv and Sofiia Bahinska of Zhytomyr.

Serhii Kostenko of Zaporizhzhia and Ivan Shevchenko from the Donetsk region completed the podium.
