The Ukrainian team made a loud declaration about themselves, chanting: 'Ukraine - above all!'.

Prince Harry personally met with the Ukrainian team after their performance, which was unexpected and created a real buzz among the athletes.
Earlier, Ukraine explained to the UN why Russia should not be allowed to international sporting events.
