Ukrainian Skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified before his first run at the 2026 Olympic Games. Heraskevych had planned to compete wearing a “memory helmet,” but the event began without his participation. A day earlier, the IOC had banned him from racing in the “memory helmet” at the Olympics. The decision followed his refusal to comply with the IOC’s athlete expression guidelines. In a statement, the IOC said the helmet he intended to wear did not meet the rules. Source: @5channel
