Ukraine has named a team of 18 athletes for the 2025 European Race Walking Team Championships in Podebrady, Czechia on 18 May.
The 2025 European Race Walking Team Championships will be streamed live on the European Athletics YouTube channel and accompanied by expert English-language commentary.
The standout names on Ukraine’s team include 2024 European 20km race walk bronze medallist Lyudmila Olyanovska and 2018 European 50km race walk champion Maryan Zakalnytskyy who drops down in distance to contest the 20km race walk.
Their 35km race walk team is headed by veteran Ivan Banzeruk who won the now discontinued 50km race walk when Podebrady staged the 2017 European Race Walking Team Championships.
Ukraine won two medals at the 2023 European Race Walking Team Championships. Olyanovska, who finished fourth individually, led Ukraine to team silver in the women’s 20km race walk while the Ukrainians also won team bronze in the 35km race walk.
