Biography
Started: He took up the sport at age 12 in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. (Athlete's coach, 29 Nov 2017)
Reason: "Almost on the same day when the fall happened to me, I had just decided to quit shooting. I already had a number of awards at regional and national level and had managed some good results. But I had already decided for myself that I would earn a living differently somehow. Since childhood, I had dreamed of a sports career and, as soon as I firmly decided to abandon my dream, life harshly pushed me towards it again. It was like fate and I also understood that, with a disability, I could hardly fully engage in anything else besides shooting." (million.in.ua, 15 Mar 2019)
Awards: In recognition of the bronze medals he won at the 2016 and 2020 Paralympic Games, he received the Order for Courage [third and second class, respectively] in Ukraine. (president.gov.ua, 16 Sep 2021, 04 Oct 2016)
