The International Olympic Committee expels Ukrainian Vladylsav Heraskevych from The Winter Olympics' skeleton sled competition for wearing a helmet picturing Ukrainian athletes who have been killed by Russia.

I really wish every athlete would just leave the games, so we could see the IOC crying "No, wait! Come back! We did not mean it!"

IOC statement 1/3
Skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych not allowed to participate at Milano Cortina 2026 after refusing to adhere to the IOC athlete expression guidelines
Having been given one final opportunity, skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych from Ukraine will not be able to start his race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games this morning. The decision followed his refusal to comply with the IOC's Guidelines on Athlete Expression. It was taken by the jury of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) based on the fact that the helmet he intended to wear was not compliant with the rules.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has therefore decided with regret to withdraw his accreditation for the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.
Despite multiple exchanges and in-person meetings between the IOC and Mr Heraskevych, the last one this morning with IOC President Kirsty Coventry, he did not consider any form of compromise.
The IOC was very keen for Mr Heraskevych to compete. This is why the IOC sat down with him to look for the most respectful way to address his desire to remember his fellow athletes who have lost their lives following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The essence of this case is not about the message, it is about where he wanted to express it.

“이런 에너지를 가져다줘서 감사하다.” 지난해 10월 26일 텍사스주 포트워스에서 출발해 108일 동안 약 3700㎞를 걸어서 워싱턴에 도착한 불교 승려들의 ‘평화를 위한 순례’에 미국 사회가 열광하고 있습니다. ‘미국인들이 순례단에 왜 이토록 뜨겁게 반응하느냐’는 질문에 한 참가자는 “많은 사람에게 평화의 메시지가 절실해서”라고 답했습니다.
