Female boxing champion, 18, killed by train as she crossed railway ‘using smartphone and wearing headphones’
A FEMALE boxing champion was killed by a train as she crossed a railway line “wearing headphones and browsing her smartphone”.
Amina Bulakh, 18, was walking towards her home in the village of Tarasivka outside Kyiv, Ukraine last week when she was struck and fatally wounded.
"At first I didn't even understand," he said
"I said, 'Anya, everything will be fine.'
"And then like a blow to the head: 'Amin is gone.'"
Fesechko has coached Amina for the last eight years, and recalled how he first met her.
";A little, slim girl of 10 years came in and she says she wants to be a boxer," he said.
"I didn't train girls at the time. It was even strange for me."
He said he at first declined to take her on, but she came back a second and third time until he agreed.
A colleague who was organising a tournament later got in touch and asked if Fesechko knew of any girls who would want to enter.
He sent Amina, and she began winning medals.
A teacher at Amina's school remembered her as bright and hard-working.
Amina had recently spent time studying in Poland and had wanted to go into business.
Fesechko she had gone home to Kyiv to relax for a few weeks after a period of training hard.
A memorial to Amina was held at her home on November 16.
