Malyshev.

This is coolbert:

Once again during a time of war the Ukrainian athlete stands tall. Not shirking their duty.

From the "Huff Post" WORLD NEWS Mar. 3, 2022. The story by Josephine Harvey.

"Ukrainian Biathlete Yevhen Malyshev Killed In Combat With Russia"

"The 19-year-old was killed defending his country against the Russian invasion, according to sports organizations."

"Yevhen Malyshev served in the country’s military, the International Biathlon Union said. He died in combat against the invading Russian military, according to a joint statement from the Athletes of Ukraine and Global Athlete."

The biathlete a strictly winter sport, combining cross-country skiing and marksmanship! Yevhen evidently his skills as a shootist we well might expect put to good us until his death!

As reported in the "Huff Post" article other Ukrainian athletes having perished during the conflict  to include:

* "soccer players Vitalii Sapylo and Dmytro Martynenko."

Hardly as has been the topic of prior blog entries and as mentioned the Ukrainian athlete and celebrity not slackers or malingerers during a time of crisis:
