What Ukrainian athletes and leaders say about the IOC and Heraskevych
On Feb. 12, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych just before the start of competition at the 25th Winter Olympic Games in 2026. The reason was a “memory helmet” featuring photos of Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia.
Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych tells CNN he will defy the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and wear his helmet featuring images of athletes killed during the war in Ukraine.
