Ukrainian athletes take small steps towards the normality of life and start at the meeting in Germering.

Germering/Wolfratshausen – A good four weeks ago, 15 Ukrainian track and field athletes fled the embattled Kharkiv.

After a two-day odyssey, they arrived by train and car from eastern Ukraine to the Polish border, where the Traunstein association “Athletes for Ukraine” took them in and brought them to Bavaria.

The trip was organized by Wolfratshausen's deputy mayor Günther Eibl and his fellow athletes from the Eiblteam Isartal, Norman Feiler and Thea Heim.

The young athletes now live in the "Humpl-Bräu" in Wolfratshausen and have joined TSV Wolfratshausen.

After a compulsory break of almost two months, the young athletes were able to train here again with trainer Valentina Ispravnikova.

"Both in the district office and in Wolfratshausen, everyone was very helpful and helped us a lot," says Norman Feiler, who has been working with many Ukrainian top athletes for a year and a half, but only recently got to know this group.

"Sport connects, and athletes quickly find ways to integrate," says Feiler.

And so it was no coincidence that three of the girls took part in the Bavarian top meeting in Germering with their new starting pass.

Tanya Bilyk (born 2000) set the exclamation point of the meeting.

In a tight 400-meter hurdle race, she beat Michelle Marnau (LG Würm Athletics, 60.91 s) in 60.64 seconds.

The 21-year-old Ukrainian junior runner-up thus stayed just above her 2021 best time of 60.17 seconds.

Despite being only 21 years old, Tanya Bilyk already has a dazzling sports career behind her.

In 2017 she took part in the U18 World Championships in Nairobi: In her real domain, the heptathlon, she finished twelfth;

Due to Corona and the resulting limited training opportunities, Bilyk switched to the 400 m hurdles last year, where she immediately became Ukrainian junior runner-up and thus also qualified for the U23 European Championships in Tallinn.

Nevertheless, the heptathlon should remain the main discipline, and the focus is on the European Championships in Munich (15th to 21st August).

During her time in Germering, Bilyk moved up to fifth place in the German U23 list and ninth place among the women.

Together with her training partner Daryna Kryvsha she also took part in the shot put.

In the women's competition, the two U23 athletes took fifth (11.45 m) and sixth (10.06 m) places.

For the heptathlete Krysha, the high jump with 1.46 m (fifth place women) and the javelin throw (34.01 m, fourth place) were rather mixed.

Talent Ostapenko wins high jump

One of the biggest Ukrainian track and field talents is 13-year-old Dasha Ostapenko.

She won the high jump in the older age group W 14 with 1.51 meters.

Nevertheless, the gold medal could not fully reconcile Ostapenko - her personal best is 1.61 meters.

"Next time I'll jump higher," promised the 13-year-old, highly motivated.

Supervisor Norman Feiler was also very relieved that the competition in Germering went so smoothly: “There were many obstacles, mainly of a bureaucratic nature, that we had to overcome before the girls could start in Germering.

But it was nice to see that they were able to take a small step towards normality in life.

It's impressive how many people support the girls here in the region.” He has already set his sights on his next goal: in two weeks he's going to Munich with ten athletes for the Pentecost meeting.
