Since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion, more than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have been killed. Hundreds will never compete again.
Vladyslav chose to carry their names and their memory with him to the start line.

He was banned from racing in that helmet.
He was disqualified before he could compete.When an athlete stands for truth, honour, and remembrance, that is already a victory.
Thank you, Vladyslav, for defending their dignity

@EugeneMcParland not surprising.
IOC ran cover for Russia invading Crimea. Literally days after Sochi, Putin invaded.
I won't have anything to do with anything Olympics; the games of war

@EugeneMcParland
All Olympics and World Cup competition should be suspended as long as wars are fought anywhere. I suspect world peace would break out pretty quickly. -
