1993 World Championships, after the fall of the Soviet Union.[1] Despite being very successful in the team events as the Soviet Union, Ukrainian athletes have primarily had individual success at the World Championships. The Chinese women originally won the bronze medal in the team event at the
1999 World Championships; however their medal was stripped in 2010 after it was discovered that
Dong Fangxiao's age was
falsified at the time of the competition. The Ukrainian women's team, who originally finished fourth, was then awarded the bronze medal.[2]
