Ukraine will be represented by 140 athletes at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Quote: “As of today, we have 124 licences in total. These are 140 sportsmen and sportswomen who will take part in the Olympic Games. We have already completed our selection for the Olympic Games, and Ukraine finally has 124 licences,” Huttsait said.

Thus, Ukraine will have the smallest of representatives in the history of the Olympic Games. Before that, the smallest figure was set in Tokyo in 2021 – 155 athletes.

It is noted that on 8 July, Ukraine submitted the documentation noting the team composition to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The NOC president said that Ukraine will be represented at the Olympics in almost all sports except for the games. At the same time, he emphasised the national football team, which will play at the Olympics for the first time since Ukraine’s independence.

The 2024 Games will take place from 26 July to 11 August.
