Ukrainian Olympic team wins 27 medals ahead of national Independence Day

The Ukrainian national team at the 29th Olympic Games has made a real present to the country on the occasion of its independence. National Olympic Committee President Serhiy Bubka and Deputy Family, Youth and Sports Minister Myroslav Dutchak were speaking during events dedicated to Ukraine's Independence Day and in honor of national athletes at the Ukrainian House in Beijing on Sunday, as reported from China.

Bubka said that the national Olympic team had claimed 27 medals for Ukraine.

Dutchak, in turn, pointed to the symbolic coincidence - the Ukrainian state flag, thanks to the national athletes, was hoisted six times in Beijing on Ukraine's State Flag Day, August 23.
