European champions Nataliya Pryshchepa and Maryan Zakalnytskky were voted Ukrainian Athletes of the Year by the Ukrainian Athletic Federation.
Pryshchepa successfully defended her title in the 800m in Berlin and Zakalnytskky won the first gold medal of the championships with victory in the 50km race walk, winning in 3:46:32 on a sweltering morning in the German capital.

Mahuchikh’s coach Tetyana Stepanova was also named Coach of the Year.
Kokhan was similarly prolific in 2018, winning the European U18 title with a world U18 best of 87.82m before winning at the Youth Olympic Games. He also won silver at the World U20 Championships in Tampere.
