Shameful — yet not shocking — that the IOC banned Vladyslav Heraskevych from wearing a helmet portraying Ukrainian athletes whose lives were claimed by russia.
Why is telling the stories of athletes who will never compete in the Olympics labelled "political"?
Full support for Vladyslav.

The Haitian delegation is now in good company in terms of the suppression of images on their uniforms.
The International Olympic Committee has told a Ukrainian skeleton athlete he cannot wear a helmet that commemorates the lives of Ukrainian athletes lost since Russia’s invasion in competition at the Winter Games, saying it breaks Olympic rules on neutrality.

I haven't watch much Olympics yet, but in nearly event I've seen, there's been at least one competitor who missed events 4 years ago because they tested positive for COVID. Imagine working so hard to qualify for the Olympics, and that happens. It would be foolish for them *not* to mask.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych wears a helmet honoring over 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed in russia’s invasion.

Seemed like a good time to re-post our conversation from two months ago about the Competitive Depravity Olympics; it provoked a whole thread this time, because what's coming out is beyond my imagination.
