Ukraine’s skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified from the Milano Cortina Games for wearing a helmet commemorating Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia. Ukraine’s Sports Minister Matvii Bidnyi called the decision “unjust,” but confirmed the team would continue competing. The move has sparked a growing controversy over the IOC’s rules on political symbols. FRANCE 24’s Seema Gupta has more from Rome.
