The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has enforced a ban on skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych from the Milan Cortina Games due to non-compliance with helmet regulations. The helmet in question featured a design depicting Ukrainian athletes, which was deemed non-compliant with IOC rules.

Heraskevych was prohibited from competing on the specified date due to the helmet's design. The IOC offered an alternative solution, allowing the athlete to wear a black armband and display the helmet after the competition.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry acknowledged the helmet's message but emphasized the need for solutions that adhere to the regulations within the field of play.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Heraskevych's father, Mykhailo Heraskevych, also commented on the impact of the IOC's decision on their reputations and aspirations.
