Ukrainian skeleton competitor Vladyslav Heraskevych said a helmet he has used in training at the Milano Cortina Games with images of compatriots killed during the war in Ukraine cannot be used in Olympic competition after being told by the IOC that it violates a rule on political statements. Heraskevych spoke to Reuters before he learned of the decision.
