The Ukrainian Olympic Committee celebrated Mexico 1968 and Seoul 1988 Olympic medallists in Kiev, Ukraine.
Respectively 50 years and 30 years later, NOC President Sergey Bubka organised a special ceremony – namely the “Olympic Jubilee” – to pay tribute to the Ukrainian athletes who, after these two Olympic Games, became country’s sport legends. In 1968, Ukraine as a part of the USSR Team won a total of 35 medals (14 gold, 10 silver and 11 bronze), while in 1988 won 62 medals (22 gold, 16 silver and 24 bronze).
