Ukrainian swimmer Oleksandr Zheltiakov has become the champion of the European Aquatics Championships, which are currently taking place in Belgrade, Serbia. The 18-year-old from Dnipro won the 200-meter backstroke.
This was the first ever gold medal for our country in this discipline at the European Championships.
