From World Para Dance Sport, Oct 21, 2017 MALLE, Belgium - Ukraine’s Ivan Sivak celebrated an emotional victory on Saturday (21 October), as his country claimed five golds on the first day of the 2017 World Para Dance Sport Championships in Malle, Belgium. While it was not his first World title, Sivak’s gold medal in the men’s single class 2 was his first without wife Nadia, who sadly passed away a year ago before the 2016 European Championships in Kosice, Slovakia. Together, they won four World and multiple European titles. “First of all I am very confused because I have a lot of feelings inside, but at the moment I am very happy,” said Sivak, who was competing in men’s single at a World Championships for the first time. “I want to dedicate this, not only the medal, but each day of my life, each thing that I’ve done and am doing, I would like to dedicate it to her. She was the centre of my life. And I am very happy that I have a daughter who is like her – they are like two drops of water, so they are very alike. Every day of my life I remember Nadia.” […] https://www.paralympic.org/news/malle- ... gold-tops-big-day-ukraine Want to learn more about World Para Dance Sport; link below: https://www.paralympic.org/dance-sport/about Photo courtesy article source
