The International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych before his first run at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy for wearing a 'helmet of memory' honouring Ukrainian athletes killed by russia's full-scale war.

@Valent @EugeneMcParland that's fantasy land illusions. Nobody has their skin in the game on front line but everyone wants to lecture
@evrial @EugeneMcParland It's called an opinion, and you're welcome not to share it.

@EugeneMcParland They clearly forgot the spirit of the Olympics. This is just evil politicising.

Has there ever been an Olympics or World Cup that hasn't coincided with a war going on somewhere?

In my opinion, the IOC is a dirty organisation corrupted by Putin, Xi and Trump, among others. Just like FIFA. Corruption wherever you look.
Allow Russian flags in stadiums, but ban pictures of victims of the Russian war of aggression... the new head of the IOC is just as morally depraved as the former one. -

@ReggieHere @EugeneMcParland Sadly, no.
And since "No war, because sports" hasn't worked (ostensibly one of the original purposes of the Olympics was to promote peace and unity among Greek city states)
- maybe it's time to give "No sports, because war" a chance.

@ReggieHere @Valent @EugeneMcParland which I think is his point?

@evrial @Valent @EugeneMcParland don't you hate it when people lecture you?👀

So pissed off by this…

Not sure who you're addressing. If it's me, and it is a genuine question, then I'd have to say no actually, I don't take myself too seriously and I love learning. If it's not me you are asking, then who - and who is it that you think is lecturing whom about what?

@Valent @evrial @EugeneMcParland not you, the one actually lecturing. You just made a hyperbolic suggestion, and people seem really mad at you for imagining an ideal world. How dare you!

Also, this post hits hard (and makes me wonder about the history of the IPC rule), as do the comments:

It casts a pall over all the marvelous feats of human athleticism and skill that is every single Olympic games.

@EugeneMcParland What a crock, IOC. Wtf?

He was banned from racing in that helmet.
He was disqualified before he could compete.When an athlete stands for truth, honour, and remembrance, that is already a victory.
Thank you, Vladyslav, for defending their dignity 🇺🇦
@EugeneMcParland He was disqualified before breaking the IOC rules. Why not disqualify all athletes for reasons of precaution? Anyone could break the rules.
-
@Valent @EugeneMcParland LOL. No, we'd just stop having Olympics competitions immediately. Probably going to anyway. It's a silly practice from an ancient time when people thought war was a bad thing and wished to have some sort of gathering of shared fun to avoid it. No place for bullshit like that in the modern world.

Scammers and robocallers: We need to ramp up volume. Nobody answers the phone anymore.
Everyone: I don't bother answering the phone anymore. It's always scams or robocalls.

#Papa Leone XIV ribadisce che la dottrina della Chiesa cattolica sulle persone #lgbt non cambia. Ammette che sia un tema «altamente polarizzante», «controverso» e lui cerca «di non alimentare la polarizzazione». Rimane l'invito pastorale all'accoglienza.👇
