Inter declares 'The Battle of Ukrainian Cities'

After a month of battles in hot Argentina 135 courageous Ukrainians - the competitors of 'The Battle of Ukrainian Cities' came back to Motherland, some celebrating victory, others having been defeated by rivals. However you won't know the winner's name until you see the final battle on 'Inter'. Watch the first episode of the project on March, 7, at 17.00. This time the team from Dnepropetrovsk with a musician Oleh Karamazov on the head will compete with the team of Zhytomir, lead by the captain Irina Zhuravska the finalist of 'Miss World', and the team of Ivano-Frankvsk, where athlete Lyudmila Blonskaya rules.

Of course we keep the lid on game results. But here there are several clues:

  • In this program world record in the qualification round is broken. One Ukrainian competitor shows the best time in the history of WipeOut.
  • One more player demonstrates a new way of passing the  Big Donuts. Never before have people run by rubber rings. And our fellow-townsman does that easily.
  • And unfortunately in this game one of the captains gets a heavy injury.

Watch the first game of 'The Battle of Ukrainian Cities' on March, 7, at 17.00. Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr and Ivano-Frankivsk teams take up the struggle.
