Ukrainian short track skater Oleh Handei says Olympic officials banned his custom helmet in Milan over a line of Ukrainian poetry: “Where there is heroism, there is no final defeat.” The International Skating Union classified it as a “political slogan.” This makes it third such case during 2026 Olympics. Previosly, Vladyslav Heraskevych was barred from wearing his memorial helmet, honoring the memory of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. Kateryna Kotsar was banned from wearing her signature “Be Brave Like Ukrainians” helmet.
