Das Internationale Olympische Komitee hat dem ukrainischen Skeleton-Rennfahrer Vladyslav Heraskevych die Teilnahme am Herren-Skeleton verboten, weil auf seinem Helm ukrainische Athleten abgebildet waren, die im Krieg mit Russland getötet wurden.
Auf seinem Helm waren der Boxer Pavlo Ischenko, die Gewichtheberin Alina Perehudova, der Eishockeyspieler Oleksiy Loginov, der Schauspieler und Sportler Ivan Kononenko, der Schütze Oleksiy Habarov, die Wasserspringerin und Trainerin Mykyta Kozubenko und die Tänzerin Daria Kurdel zu sehen.
Das IOC warnte Heraskevych vor dem Helm, doch er weigerte sich, nachzugeben.
In einer Erklärung sagte das IOC: "Aufgrund einer letzten Chance kann der Skeleton-Pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych aus der Ukraine heute Morgen sein Rennen bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 2026 in Milano Cortina nicht starten.
"Das Internationale Olympische Komitee (IOC) hat daher mit Bedauern beschlossen, ihm die Akkreditierung für die Spiele 2026 in Milano Cortina zu entziehen."
Heraskevych hatte eine einfache Antwort auf X: "Das ist der Preis unserer Würde."

Ukraine, the Republic of China(Taiwan) and us friends of you two should consider creating our own Olympics games if the IOC is not going to be respectful and neutral.
Lithuania did their own national Olympics in 1938 in protest of Nazi Germany kicking them out of the 1936 Olympics after all.
Fuck the olympic committee.
So many terrible decisions, like allowing Russian athletes to compete, forcing Taiwan to join under a different name, and now banning a Ukranian athlete.
Vladyslav Heraskevych should be proud for drawing a lot of attention to Ruzzia’s warcrimes.
Russians are disgusting… on every possible level…
The Olympic Committee is just as corrupt and bribe-prone as FIFA and probably all major sports organizations where large sums of money are involved. The claims that it’s always just about the sport are clearly just BS. As an individual, the only way to respond is to ignore these sporting events. Unfortunately, however, many people react irrationally when it comes to sports and don’t do that, continuing to watch regardless of how many scandals there are.
Fucking cowards
And this is why I don’t watch the Olympics in the first place
Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦
It’s great they have allowed ruzzians instead. You are allowed to participate in Olympic games, even if you are the murderer or actively support the genocide, as long as you give enough money for the IOC itself.
Morals Seem not to exist in modern sporting organisations…
Well I just switched off my tv – I’m sorry to all the other athletes – but fuck the IOC and fuck you too ruzzia!
Pussy hoes
Who watch’s that trash anyway
His honor is worth more than their disgraceful (shattering) medals. Fuck them. Glory to Ukraine and their heroes.
IOC, the exact same on that is allowing russian athlete with neutral flag. they can fuck themself.
perfect answer from the athlete
So people who sponsor genocide and war crimes – some of them even outwardly supporting them back home – are allowed, but honouring the dead is not????
Piss weak.
Guess Ousmanov’s presence and generosity was not for nothing 🤮. Slava Ukraini
Why they allowed it in the first place before the game, just to flex later on their small dick ability to ban?
FIFA, IOC, Amnesty International and many more corrupt organizations. NEVER FORGET.
