Ukrainian Olympians to have another standard nutrition

In Ukraine the standard nutrition will be changed for athletes participating in the Olympic Games, the first deputy head of the State Service of Youth and Sports Serhiy Hlushenko said at a briefing.

"First of all we worry about nutrition. It is not normal to allocate 205 UAH per day for a 50 kg gymnast and a 100 kg fighter. The standards will be different," Hlushenko said.

According to him, the State Service has already developed new standards.

"At a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, we have protocoled these figures. We believe that new regulations in kilocalories, not in monetary equivalent will be adopted," he summed up.
