Details: Sailing down the Seine River on a boat, the Ukrainian Olympians sang the famous country’s song Chervona Ruta.

Notably, the flag bearers of the Ukrainian national team this year were tennis player Elina Svitolina and swimmer Mykhailo Romanchuk.

Background: The main sporting event of the four-year cycle will take place in Paris from 26 July to 11 August. Ukraine will be represented by 140 athletes at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, competing in 25 sports. However, there are only 124 licences, making this the smallest Ukrainian representation in Olympic history for the summer games since 1996.
