A young gymnast from Lviv, 5-year-old Regina Abramova, has set a new record in Ukraine, previously held only among adults – "Longest Hold in a Vertical Inverted Position on Rings".

Her remarkable time is 5 minutes and 52 seconds, as reported by Lana Vetrovа, the head of the National Register of Records of Ukraine.

"This exercise is considered quite challenging for children, as it requires not only excellent physical conditioning but also a strong sporting character. However, as we know, records are set by those who dare to achieve the impossible," Vetrovа noted.

Regina began practicing gymnastics at the age of 4. She has already completed the second youth category program and is preparing for the first.

The girl trains 6 days a week, spending 5-6 hours each day on her practice.

"As her coach told me, while other children rush home after gymnastics classes, Regina always tries to practice a little longer. If she struggles with a particular exercise, she won’t leave the gym until she achieves the result," Vetrovа explained.

According to the Lviv Regional State Administration, at the age of 2.5, Regina also started running. Currently, she is a participant and prizewinner in more than 15 competitions.

It is worth noting that in Kyiv region, a 7-year-old boy with Down syndrome recently set a swimming record, completing 50 meters in less than 3 minutes.
