Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych instructed CNN’s Amanda Davies he plans to compete in a helmet honoring 24 Ukrainian athletes killed within the struggle with Russia — regardless of an International Olympic Committee ban. The IOC mentioned Tuesday he can not put on the helmet in competitors, citing guidelines that prohibit political statements on the sector of play. Officials steered he might as an alternative put on a black armband, one thing Heraskevych says would not do justice to these athletes who’ve misplaced their lives.
