Wladislaw Heraskewytsch

Wladislaw Heraskewytsch is a Ukrainian skeleton athlete who recently made headlines for being excluded from the Winter Olympics due to a controversy surrounding his helmet, which featured images of fellow athletes killed in the war against Russia. Despite attempts by IOC President Kirsty Coventry to persuade him to remove the helmet, Heraskewytsch stood firm in his commitment to honor his fallen colleagues, leading to his disqualification from the competition.
