The Ukrainian diving team is kicking off the new season as Europe’s top team. Igor Lysov, president of the federation, has announced the prize money for their triumphant 2025 season and their preparations for the 2028 Olympics

The Ukrainian Diving Federation provides details of the meeting with the athletes.

A year of records

Last season was a triumphant one for the Ukrainian team: the senior and junior national teams were recognised as the best at the European Championships, and Oleksii Sereda won a historic ‘silver’ at the World Championships. For these achievements, the athletes and coaches received cash bonuses from the head of the Federation.

Heading for the 2028 Olympics

The main task for the new cycle is to secure Olympic licences in all synchronised disciplines. “My dream is to hear the Ukrainian national anthem at the Olympic Games. I promise a generous reward to anyone who makes this dream a reality,” emphasised Ihor Lysov, urging the team to deliver performances of the highest quality.
