..."“We are so happy to play our small part in providing these world-class athletes with refuge to continue their training in such a fantastic facility,” Holcomb said in a statement. “This confirms what we have known all along — that our strongest state export has, and always will be, our Hoosier Hospitality.”
The Ukrainian team performed well at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Multiple members of the team won medals.
They’ll train at Hammond Central High School until Aug. 3. During their three-week stay, Ukrainians will meet and share their skills with local wrestlers.

A grant from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is funding travel and other arrangements for the Ukrainian team."
