The Olympic Games start this week. For several weeks, attention will be focused on the competitions, results and performances of Ukrainian athletes. During such periods, people usually talk about medals, national team funding and positions in the overall standings.

At the same time, another, no less important question is asked less often: who forms the country’s sports reserve and how it appears?

The following is the text in the original language. High results at international competitions do not happen spontaneously. This is the legacy of systemic work with young athletes in the equal sections, coaches, infrastructure and stable funding.

At this very stage, long before the great stadiums and national teams, lies the key call. Government resources and budgetary programs are insufficient to ensure the stability and long-term development of youth sports.

This is the fate of Ukrainian business in supporting youth sports - in the context of TASKOMBANK, which is supporting young national federations of basketball, judo, soccer and the martial arts club - and practical additions to the training system. Without which the region’s sports reserve cannot be formed in urgent need.

This work has a broader effect, not just the preparation of several teams and athletes. Through sports, the region itself forms its alliance behind the border as a daily, strong and competitive. International trade is one of the few platforms, where Ukraine is regularly present in the light information field not through crisis, but through achievement.

Okremo varto talk about the long-lasting internal effect. Youth sports have a huge impact on the health of future generations and form a culture of an active way of life. This reduces the social and medical risks that the country is facing over time.

The human world is no less important. The support of youth sports creates the minds of those who clearly want to live, work and realize themselves in Ukraine. For young athletes, this is a signal that in this region it is possible to achieve results and be competitive in the world, without having to cross the border.

Youth sports are the foundation of not only the successes of today, but also the stability of the region in the long term.
