Today, May 5, 2025, the Odesa veterans' team has embarked on a journey to sunny Greece to challenge themselves in an extreme marathon across the Aegean Sea.

The waves, wind, and the views of Olympus will be part of their challenge, primarily aimed at pushing their own limits.

In Thessaloniki, the first international rowing club, YAL Rowing, is opening its doors. This is not just a sport; it is a pathway to rehabilitation, motivation, and a return to life.

The Mayor of Odesa wished the veterans strength, endurance, and inspiration. He also presented them with the Odesa flag—may it proudly fly alongside the Ukrainian flag, guiding the team forward!
