National hero and international inspiration Vladyslav Heraskevych is the real victor of Milano Cortina 26:
"The three values of olympism are excellence, respect and friendship".
Shame on IOC.
Glory to Ukrainian heroes.
Don't stop talking about Ukraine.
Always remember Ukraine.
The best of us.
Mykhailo Heraskevych, Vladyslav’s father and coach, reacts after the IOC disqualified his son from the 2026 Winter Olympics.

She was one of the most ineffective and incompetent ministers of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Yes, both statements are correct. No wonder she think naked colonialism via violence is okey

Whatever IOC wanted to do for their Russian patrons it didn’t work.

Vladyslav Heraskevych received much more than a medal. He is a hero, he is being supported by the most wonderful people.

Money will not help hide the Russian crimes.

Just catching up with the news. As I already said last week Kirsty Coventry is a spineless twat but then what do you expect from the Olympic Committee. Corrupt through and through. If you didn't know that, you have not been paying attention.

I stand with Vladyslav Heraskevych.

Clarification: He is Ukraine’s first ever skeleton racer. But this is his third games. In Beijing, Heraskevych held up a sign reading “No to War in Ukraine”. Weeks later, Russia invaded. This time, he wanted to wear a helmet showing the faces of all the sportspeople who have since died.
February 12, 2026 at 4:18 PM
Not good enough
This is only tokenism from IOC

Heraskevych must be allowed compete

Justice must prevail here

Shame on you IOC

"The father and coach of Vladyslav Heraskevych couldn't hold back tears after his son was disqualified.

Mykhailo Heraskevych didn’t just coach his son, he built this path with him. Endless training, sleepless nights, constant struggle to keep Ukraine in skeleton sport."

Literal definition of sanctimonious here as the IOC blames the Ukrainian: "The IOC said that it had no choice but to disqualify Mr. Heraskevych in order to preserve what its chief spokesman, Mark Adams, described as 'the sanctity of the field of play.' ” #SlavaUkraini www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/w...
