Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted February 24, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 24, 2022 It isn't looking good in Ukraine right now. There are several good skiers from Ukraine. Does anyone have any connections? I just read men ages 18 to 40 (I'm not 100% sure on the age) all were ordered to report for duty. I hope this thing doesn't get any worse than it already is. @Horton if this post doesn't belong, delete it. My intention isn't political, simply concern for Ukrainians and their waterskiers.

Baller Luzz Posted February 28, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2022 I just had a quick text exchange with Danylo. Some quotes with his consent: what I’ve been doing is people send it directly to me through PayPal, Zelle, etc and I’ve been distributing it here, I volunteer all day long with my brother here in my city, we buy many different things for people in need, our territorial defense organizations, army, etc… They post long lists of different stuff here that they need and we buy it and deliver it We for sure know that the people get it This followed up a conversation where I asked him about how I could help get food in the area. He said that the humanitarian efforts are obviously admirable but he didn't know which ones he could say for certain are producing the most immediate result. You can send some money to his PayPal by clicking here Ski coach at Jolly Ski, Organizer of the San Gervasio Pro Am (2023 Promo and others), Co-Organizer of the Jolly Clinics.

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted March 1, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted March 1, 2022 Oh dang Minsk isn't even in Russia, but I guess Belarus has been the only country kinda supporting this obscene invasion, so I can understand the cancelation.

Baller MattP Posted March 2, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2022 We were all sad to hear that the Worlds were canceled, but we all can agree it was the right decision. I was to serve as team manager for this year. 2020 Worlds were supposed to take place in Ukraine and were cancelled due to covid. They re-awarded 2024 to Ukraine, but we can all assume that event may be moved as well depending on how things transpire in the region. They are looking for alternative sites for University Worlds for this year if any one is interested in hosting shoot me a message and I can get you in contact with the right folks. Praying for everyone in Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Luzz Posted March 9, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2022 @jjackkrash I haven't spoken to Danylo in a few days. As most, I follow the news closely. Maybe too closely, but it is hard not to. Last I saw from Danylo yesterday was that he was looking for helmets and body armor.

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted March 10, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted March 10, 2022 @Luzz I saw that request too and I find it to be very telling for how bad things have become. It's troubling to say the least. Yet Danylo's bravery and love for his country are remarkable. He's one of the best overall skiers in the world, and he's in the sh&t instead of on a private lake in Florida, it's crazy. He and many Ukrainians are sacrificing so much for their country. I'm sure it's difficult for the Russian waterskiers to deal with too but in a different way. Anyone hear anything from Igor Morozov or other Russian skiers on their take? Getting info from the straight sources is better than what the US media provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
