Geraskevych ging trotz des IOC-Verbots zum Training bei den Olympischen Spielen 2026 und trug einen Helm mit Bildern ukrainischer Athleten, die von der Russischen Föderation getötet wurden

For clarification – wearing the helmet was banned by the IOC, he isn’t.

Yet a Russian flag on the helmet of another athlete was fine.

From the IOCs own rules: 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.“*

That helmet is nothing to do with any of those categories, it is simply remembering a number of sportsmen & women who have been victims of an illegal act. If the IOC insist on the ban it means they support genocide which is definitely not within the spirit of the games.
