The International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych before his first run at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy for wearing a 'helmet of memory' honouring Ukrainian athletes killed by russia's full-scale war.
@EugeneMcParland The IOC once again shows us what they really stand for.

He was banned from racing in that helmet.
He was disqualified before he could compete.When an athlete stands for truth, honour, and remembrance, that is already a victory.
Thank you, Vladyslav, for defending their dignity
@EugeneMcParland
All Olympics and World Cup competition should be suspended as long as wars are fought anywhere. I suspect world peace would break out pretty quickly. -

@EugeneMcParland Plenty of other athletes have honored dead relatives, friends or team mates. The IOC is deciding that the manner of death determines if the dead are worthy of rememberence. A sick act and a political choice.

@EugeneMcParland They clearly forgot the spirit of the Olympics. This is just evil politicising.

In my opinion, the IOC is a dirty organisation corrupted by Putin, Xi and Trump, among others. Just like FIFA. Corruption wherever you look.
Allow Russian flags in stadiums, but ban pictures of victims of the Russian war of aggression... the new head of the IOC is just as morally depraved as the former one. -
Has there ever been an Olympics or World Cup that hasn't coincided with a war going on somewhere?
@ReggieHere @EugeneMcParland Sadly, no.
And since "No war, because sports" hasn't worked (ostensibly one of the original purposes of the Olympics was to promote peace and unity among Greek city states)
- maybe it's time to give "No sports, because war" a chance.

Not sure who you're addressing. If it's me, and it is a genuine question, then I'd have to say no actually, I don't take myself too seriously and I love learning. If it's not me you are asking, then who - and who is it that you think is lecturing whom about what?

@Valent @evrial @EugeneMcParland not you, the one actually lecturing. You just made a hyperbolic suggestion, and people seem really mad at you for imagining an ideal world. How dare you!
