“More than four days and four nights we (took to) come here. It’s a miracle that we’re here… A part of our team was already abroad. A part of our team was in Ukraine. All the necessary equipment was in Ukraine… We had to unite all those parts. It is 25 years I am president of the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine. And never was it so difficult, so heavy to come to the Paralympic Games,” said Sushkevych.
