Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych called for a coalition of national Olympic committees to oppose the IOC’s provisional lifting of Russia’s suspension. Heraskevych, identified in coverage as the Ukrainian face of the Milano Cortina Games after a helmet controversy, made the appeal in public remarks.
Background on the suspension The IOC had previously suspended Russia over the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The provisional lifting would allow limited participation under neutral status. Heraskevych’s statement seeks coordinated opposition from other national committees before any final decision. No timeline for further IOC action was provided in the report.
