Abstract

Every day, Russian terrorist troops shell the territory of Ukraine. The aggressor’s statements about exceptionally accurate strikes on Ukrainian military bases are a thing of the past. The Russian Federation openly attacks critical and civilian infrastructure, including sports.
According to the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, more than 110 of our sports facilities have been affected since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia. This is information as of the end of summer. Their reconstruction already requires more than 160 million dollars. And this number only continues to grow. Part of the training bases is under occupation.
Martial law has a negative impact on all spheres of life. Athletes have to overcome the following problems: finding a safe place to live and train; staying away from home, often outside Ukraine; financial difficulties; psychological difficulties, etc.
Therefore, the organization of training badminton players to participate in competitions, in the absence of training bases and threats to the lives of athletes, is relevant.
The aim of the research: the results of performances of Ukrainian badminton players on the international stage during martial state.
Methods: analysis of normative documents, literary sources and Internet resources according to the research problem.
Results: Thanks to a series of acts adopted by the Government since the first days of the invasion of the Russian Federation and with the support of the Badminton Federation of Ukraine, the training process and participation in the most prestigious international competitions have been resumed. In total, Ukrainian athletes played in 47 international tournaments, among which the most successful tournament was the Ukraine Open. Number of appearances to the quarterfinals: men’s singles – 3 times, women’s singles - 6 times, men’s doubles - 3 times, women’s doubles – 4 times, mixed doubles – 5 times. Distribution of medals by categories: MS – 2 medals, WS – 3 medals, MD – 1 medal, WD – 5 medals;
Conclusions. The Government, the Badminton Federation of Ukraine, coaches, athletes, and sponsors worked as a single mechanism, ensuring the quality organization of the educational and training process, preparation for competitions at a safe location, and the performance of Ukrainian badminton players on the international stage, under martial law conditions.
