🚫 When the Truth Is Banned The International Olympic Committee has banned Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych from using his “special” helmet at the 2026 Olympics. The helmet depicts Ukrainian athletes who were killed by Russia — a country that, by the way, is allowed to participate in the Olympic Games. #Olympics2026 #Olympics

Ukrainian athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych planned to wear a helmet with photos of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia during the 2026 Olympics. He was forbidden for doing so by the International Olympics Committee and said this decision "breaks his heart." Earlier, an Italian athlete was allowed to wear a helmet with a Russian flag on it. (He explained he wears the flags of all countries where he took part in the Olympics) Sports is never beyond politics. These fallen Ukrainian athletes are victims of brutal Russian aggression. 📹: heraskevychvladyslav/Instagram

🇺🇦 Remembrance is not a violation. The International Olympic Committee thought it disqualified a Ukrainian athlete for honoring 660 athletes & trainers killed by Russia’s war. In reality, it disqualified itself from the Olympic spirit. There were no slogans, no hate—just portraits of the fallen. They will never compete again. They deserve remembrance. Proud of Vladyslav Heraskevych OLY for choosing dignity over silence. #RemembranceIsNotAViolation #StandWithUkraine #ShameOnIOC #DignityMatters IOC MEDIA НОК України The Olympic Games

IOC disqualified Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych over «memory helmet» at the 2026 Olympics Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych did not start after the IOC’s decision. The committee cited Rule 50.2 of the Olympic Charter banning political symbolism. As a compromise, the athlete was offered a black armband. Heraskevych wore the helmet during training sessions. After repeated warnings, the IOC decided to disqualify him. The athlete said it was a tribute to fallen Ukrainians, not politics. Volodymyr Zelenskyy supported him, calling the helmet a reminder of the price of the struggle.
