Winter Olympics Day Six Round Up
Ukraine’s Vladyslav Heraskevych was kicked out of competing in the skeleton by the IOC after his helmet featured images of athletes killed during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I could be among the medalists in this event, but suddenly, because of some interpretation of the rules which I do not agree with, I am not able to compete.”
