      Seems dumb that there’s no compromise that could be found, I wonder what options were discussed. It does seem rather harsh on the surface.

      Unfortunately if you let this athlete honor good dead people you’d also have to let a potential MAGA American have a Charlie Kirk helmet if they wanted and I don’t want that

      As someone who doesn’t care much about the Olympics, I would not have seen the helmet if there was no drama around it. 

      As far as I’m concerned, he won the race by default. Good for him for not backing down.

      So IOC has an issue with remembering and honouring dead athletes? Or is it just because of the way and by who they were killed?

      I’m sorry he was banned. But I’m glad they kicked up a fuss. The Streisand effect is doing all the work here.

      >The IOC added that Heraskevych had been banned for contravening athlete guidelines, rather than because of displaying political propaganda.

      Press X to doubt

      The Olympics simply do not want athletes to use their platform for social political causes. Every county around the world has causes near and dear to them and the Olympics don’t want the games to be turned into a protest venue. It is a show of athletics.

      Olympics brand has truly deteriorated over the years.. pretty despicable by them.

      What a joke. Who cares what Russians think? They are apparently the ones who noticed the helmet and threw a fit it looks like.

      Dignity is an incredibly important value to Ukrainians. It’s the most important reason for why the Ukrainian people are so mentally resilient despite Russia’s demoralisation attacks
