It was belatedly known that a biathlon gold medalist at the Youth Winter Olympics in the past volunteered to join the Ukrainian army.
On the 15th local time, foreign media such as the British Daily Mail and Newsweek reported that Christina Dmitrenko (22), a biathlete who represented Ukraine at the 2016 Lillyhammer Youth Winter Olympics, is currently serving in the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
'Biathlon' is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, and Cristina won the gold medal in that event at the 2016 Youth Olympics in Lillyhammer, Norway.
Christina, who has since followed her biathlete career, has been training in the Carpathians of Western Ukraine with the youth national team for her international participation since last February.

However, on February 24, when Russia invaded Ukraine, Christina's life was changed overnight.
This is because Kristina, a native of Chernhyu, northern Ukraine, volunteered for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior's Facebook page, Christina "sends horrendous pictures of the place where the war was fought by friends of Chernihiu and Kiiu," she said. .
He continued, "I won't be embarrassed if I change my biathlon rifle to a machine gun," he said.
The weekly Newsweek reported that "Christina's sports career was not important when she decided to join the war after seeing pictures
of the actual war sent to her by friends of Chernivu and Kiiu."
