Ukraine will compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

[edit] Archery

Ukraine's men's archery team took seventh place at the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships, earning the nation a full complement of three qualification spots for the Olympic men's competitions. The women's team finished in tenth place, six points shy of qualifying as well. Nevertheless, two Ukrainian women (Tetyana Berezhna and Viktoriya Koval) did earn spots via individual qualification in that tournament.[1]

Ukraine has not yet announced its final selection of Olympic team members.

Ukraine has won a silver medal and two bronzes in previous Games, including the bronze medal in the men's team competition in 2004.

[edit] Boxing

Ukraine qualified eight boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Chygagyev, Lomachenko, Dervyanchenko, and Glazkov earned their spots at the 2007 World Championships.[2] The remaining four Ukrainian boxers qualified at the first European qualifying tournament.[3]
