Ukrainian skeleton racer disqualified for helmet.
Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych has been disqualified for wearing a helmet paying tribute to fellow athletes killed by Russia. Shortly before his race, the IOC tried to persuade him not to start with the helmet, but Heraskevych refused.
