Realistic? Not sure. Elected last April at the head of the country, the new Ukrainian president, the former actor Volodymyr Zelenskiy, expressed his wish to see the sports movement soon apply for the Olympic Games. He detailed his wish to see Ukraine quickly adopt a national plan for the construction of sports facilities, with the objective of presenting an Olympic candidacy. But Volodymyr Zelenskiy did not specify whether he was thinking about the Summer or Winter Games. As a reminder, the Ukrainian city of Lviv launched the race for the Winter Games in 2022, before giving up. For Sergey Bubka, the former pole vaulter who is now president of the Ukrainian national Olympic committee, it would be more realistic to first apply for the Youth Games.
