Il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale ha vietato al corridore skeleton ucraino Vladyslav Heraskevych di gareggiare nello skeleton maschile a causa del suo casco che raffigurava atleti ucraini uccisi nella guerra con la Russia.
Sul suo casco c’erano il pugile Pavlo Ischenko, la sollevatrice di pesi Alina Perehudova, il giocatore di hockey sul ghiaccio Oleksiy Loginov, l’attore e atleta Ivan Kononenko, il tiratore Oleksiy Habarov, l’atleta e allenatore di tuffi Mykyta Kozubenko e la ballerina Daria Kurdel.
Il CIO ha avvertito Heraskevych dell’elmo, ma lui si è rifiutato di fare marcia indietro.
In una dichiarazione, il CIO ha affermato: "Avendo avuto un’ultima opportunità, il pilota skeleton dall’Ucraina non potrà iniziare la sua gara ai Giochi Olimpici Invernali di Milano Cortina 2026 questa mattina.
"Il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale (CIO) ha quindi deciso con rammarico di ritirargli l’accreditamento per i Giochi di Milano Cortina 2026."
Heraskevych ha dato una risposta semplice su X: "Questo è il prezzo della nostra dignità."

Ukraine, the Republic of China(Taiwan) and us friends of you two should consider creating our own Olympics games if the IOC is not going to be respectful and neutral.
Lithuania did their own national Olympics in 1938 in protest of Nazi Germany kicking them out of the 1936 Olympics after all.
Fuck the olympic committee.
So many terrible decisions, like allowing Russian athletes to compete, forcing Taiwan to join under a different name, and now banning a Ukranian athlete.
Vladyslav Heraskevych should be proud for drawing a lot of attention to Ruzzia’s warcrimes.
Russians are disgusting… on every possible level…
The Olympic Committee is just as corrupt and bribe-prone as FIFA and probably all major sports organizations where large sums of money are involved. The claims that it’s always just about the sport are clearly just BS. As an individual, the only way to respond is to ignore these sporting events. Unfortunately, however, many people react irrationally when it comes to sports and don’t do that, continuing to watch regardless of how many scandals there are.
Fucking cowards
And this is why I don’t watch the Olympics in the first place
Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦
It’s great they have allowed ruzzians instead. You are allowed to participate in Olympic games, even if you are the murderer or actively support the genocide, as long as you give enough money for the IOC itself.
Morals Seem not to exist in modern sporting organisations…
Well I just switched off my tv – I’m sorry to all the other athletes – but fuck the IOC and fuck you too ruzzia!
Pussy hoes
Who watch’s that trash anyway
His honor is worth more than their disgraceful (shattering) medals. Fuck them. Glory to Ukraine and their heroes.
IOC, the exact same on that is allowing russian athlete with neutral flag. they can fuck themself.
perfect answer from the athlete
So people who sponsor genocide and war crimes – some of them even outwardly supporting them back home – are allowed, but honouring the dead is not????
Piss weak.
Guess Ousmanov’s presence and generosity was not for nothing 🤮. Slava Ukraini
Why they allowed it in the first place before the game, just to flex later on their small dick ability to ban?
FIFA, IOC, Amnesty International and many more corrupt organizations. NEVER FORGET.
time to sanction this ONG, it does not represent what sports and the olympics should be about
Corrupt Motherf#$%^&
If Russian althletes are allowed to compete in white suits while affiliating with the army there is no reason to even consider IOC not being corrupted.
>Shortly after Heraskevych first wore his helmet during a training run on Monday, the IOC met with his coach and Ukrainian officials to explain that the helmet was not compliant with its rules. The Olympic charter states that “No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.”
>When Heraskevych made it clear that he intended to wear the helmet anyway, the IOC offered him the option to wear a black armband or black ribbon instead of the helmet. Coventry also traveled to Cortina to sit down in person with Heraskevych in hopes of brokering a compromise.
>“The IOC was very keen for Mr. Heraskevych to compete,” it said in a statement. “This is why the IOC sat down with him to look for the most respectful way to address his desire to remember his fellow athletes who have lost their lives following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
