Katia Diachenko was eleven. A young gymnast from Mariupol, killed by russia’s invasion. Her name appeared on a tribute helmet worn by Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych. For that helmet, he was disqualified — deemed a “political demonstration” under IOC rules.
When remembering a murdered child becomes sanctionable, neutrality stops being balance and starts looking like moral failure.
