Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych told CNN’s Amanda Davies he plans to compete in a helmet honoring 24 Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia — despite an International Olympic Committee ban. The IOC said Tuesday he cannot wear the helmet in competition, citing rules that prohibit political statements on the field of play. Officials suggested he could instead wear a black armband, something Heraskevych says doesn’t do justice to those athletes who’ve lost their lives.
