      **From The Telegraph:**

      A Ukrainian skeleton athlete has risked Olympic disciplinary action by wearing a helmet bearing images of people killed since Russia’s invasion of his country.

      Upholding a promise to use the Olympic stage to keep global ‍attention ‌on the conflict, Vladyslav Heraskevych made the powerful statement while going down the track in Cortina d’Ampezzo on Monday.

      “Some of them were my friends,” Heraskevych, who was also his country’s flagbearer, ‍told Reuters of the portraits displayed on his helmet.

      He named some of his lost international team-mates as the figure skater Dmytro Sharpar, weightlifter Alina Peregudova, strongman Pavlo Ishchenko, ice hockey player Oleksiy Loginov and biathlete Yevhen Malyshev.

      Heraskevych also held up a “No War ‍in Ukraine” sign at the Beijing Olympics just ⁠days before Russia’s 2022 invasion.

      He said that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had contacted Ukraine’s Olympic Committee over the helmet. “It’s still being processed,” he said.

      Ukraine got the loudest cheer at the opening ceremony.

      JD Vance got the loudest boos.

      I feel he should be able to argue that simply having memories of old friends on his helmet is not a political statement. If the Russians make a thing of it, it is they would be making a politcal demonstration.

      Rule 50.2 of the Olympic Charter states: „No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.“

      Good on him. The Russian athletes won’t be able to see the helmet in person.
