The contemporary history of Ukrainian sport is determined by a comparatively short time frame (from 1991 to this day). During this period of time Ukrainian athletes managed to represent our country on equal footing with other sportsmen in various competitions of the highest level. The development of sports in this country is associated with our achievements in the Olympics. That is why it is worthwhile to analyze the development of any particular kind of sport or any group of sports in view of Ukrainian athletes’ performance at the Olympic Games. It gave us reason to propose for consideration a separate scientific problem of clarifying the prize winners, who represented Ukraine in the combat sports competitions at the 1992 – 2016 Olympic Games. The objective of the research was to reveal the achievements of Ukrainian athletes in the combat sports contests at the 1992−2016 Olympics – the period of Ukrainian independence. A considerable part of scientific and popular science publications are dedicated to various sports achievements of Ukrainian athletes at the Olympic Games. By means of additional scientific research, special analysis and synthesis of the publications one could single out the information pertaining to this or that group of the Olympic events. From this standpoint we propose to continue the study of the issue related to the achievements of Ukrainian combat sportsmen at the Olympics over the period from 1992 till 2016. Ukrainian athletes won altogether 43 awards in combat sports for the period from 1992 to 2016, including 15 medals won by our boxers, 10 awards gained by freestyle wrestlers, 6 medals – by Greco -Roman wrestlers, 3 – by judokas and 9 awards won by fencers. The largest number of the awards in combat sports at the Olympic Games during the period from 1992 till 2016 was added to the moneybox of Ukrainian national team by the following athletes: O. Kharlan (4 awards in sabre fencing), V. Lomachenko (2 medals in boxing), I. Merleni-Melnyk (2 medals in freestyle wrestling), E. Tadeyev (2 medals in freestyle wrestling), R. Gontiuk (2 awards in Judo). All the other combat sportsmen, who gained awards representing Ukraine at the Olympics, won one medal each.
