Ukrainian athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych planned to wear a helmet with photos of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia during the 2026 Olympics.

He was forbidden for doing so by the International Olympics Committee and said this decision "breaks his heart."

Earlier, an Italian athlete was allowed to wear a helmet with a Russian flag on it. (He explained he wears the flags of all countries where he took part in the Olympics)
