Details
The fight for truth continues. In a few minutes, the hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will begin. I am confident that I did not violate IOC rules, so I consider my disqualification absolutely unlawful. I see all your support - and it inspires me immensely
Recall
The IOC disqualified Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych before the first run of the 2026 Olympics in skeleton because he was supposed to start in a "helmet of memory" - as a sign of respect for fallen Ukrainian athletes and all our Heroes.
Heraskevych himself told journalists that he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
At the same time, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha condemned this decision, calling it a shameful moment and a betrayal of the Olympic Code.
