The International Olympic Committee has banned a Ukrainian skeleton racer from wearing a helmet bearing the faces of his fellow athletes who have been slaughtered by Russian forces. After donning the helmet at a training session on Monday, Vladyslav Heraskevych, 27, was told the gear violated rules against making political statements — but the athlete said it was a memorial to his fallen friends.
