Zelensky meets with Olympian disqualified for helmet honoring killed Ukrainian athletes

Ukraine’s skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified from the Milano Cortina Winter Games on Thursday over the use of a helmet depicting Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia, the International Olympic Committee said. He was informed of his disqualification after a meeting with IOC President Kirsty Coventry early in the morning at the sliding venue, shortly before the start of his competition. His team said they would appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
