Oleksandr Bilokon, a world and European powerlifting champion, died at the front. He was a Ukrainian record holder, reports the President of the Greco-Roman Wrestling Federation of Ukraine Vadym Kisil.
"Oleksandr Bilokon, a world and European powerlifting champion, record holder of the Ukrainian record book, died in the war with the Russian fascists," Kisil wrote.
He reminded that Bilokon was one of the strongest men in Ukraine. Back in 2017, he set a Ukrainian record for moving a tractor-trailer filled with people in the center of Odesa.
In 2020, Oleksandr Bilokon was awarded the Master of Sports in heroic games.
Earlier we reported that a volunteer from Latvia was killed at the front near Lyman. The reason was a Russian drone strike.
