This. So much this. If anyone wonders why I came back to the cesspit that is Twitter, this is why👇. Most powerful 🇺🇦 related video I’ve seen yet. He’s right, we need to do more, and I too am ashamed. Slava Ukraini! 💙💛✊💙💛 #StandWithUkraine

🇬🇧: Better a “police state,” which it isn’t 🙄, than an ignorant, gun-toting free for all. Wind yer neck in and educate yourself for a change.

Dear JDV, Wind yer ‘kin neck in. My country 🇬🇧 is not the same sh*thole as your country 🇺🇸. Don’t comment on what you know nothing about, and from what I’ve seen that’s most things … you should’ve been entirely mute since you became VP. Get your facts right for a change.

Dear Kemi, please explain why deployment delay of HMS Dragon is ‘cos of 14 years your govt. spent running down 🇬🇧 military. When interviewed on BBC Breakfast News please do not say, ‘[you’re] trying to explain complex topics in simple language.’ We’re not thick, pet. Thx.

And he wonders why they didn’t give him the peace prize. Guess he’s made his bed and now he’d better hide under it.

[Future;Nostalgic © 2009 - 26 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇺🇦 @FutureNostalgic]

@MacPlus_87 Nah, just sick of bl**dy double standards. IOC has no problem with other nationalities commemorating deceased, so why such a problem with 🇺🇦 athlete? It’s not as if he had, “F**k R***ia,” written on his helmet. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Pierre de Coubertin must be spinning in his grave.

[Future;Nostalgic © 2009 - 26 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇺🇦 @FutureNostalgic]

Absolutely zero difference between holding up a photo of your parents who died in a plane crash and painting your friends’ portraits onto the plain grey background of your race helmet. Zero difference & NOT a political statement. Shame on you #IOC #Olympics2026 #NAFOlympics

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

So apparently, commemorating the dead is acceptable as long as they’re not Ukrainians. Noted.

Якщо це не дискримінація, то що?
If this isn’t discrimination, then what is?

Вже завтра стартують змагання зі с��елетону на Олімпійських іграх 2026. Але замість підготовки до стартів ми вимушені боротися за право виступати в «Шоломі Пам’яті».
Повертаємося до теми подвійних стандартів МОК. Аналогічна ситуація склалася з ізраїльським скелетоністом: на церемонії відкриття він вийшов у кіппі (про що напередодні заявив у своїх соціальних мережах), на якій були вказані імена 11 ізраїльських спортсменів та тренерів, убитих терористами на Олімпіаді в Мюнхені 1972 року. Тобто спортсмен буквально помістив пам’ять про загиблих на свою голову, щоб ушанувати їх.
Я відверто не розумію, чим принципово відрізняються ці два випадки. Правила МОК є однаковими на церемоніях відкриття, нагородженнях та на місцях проведення змагань.

Чому до українців таке ставлення?

«Шолом Пам’яті» має бути дозволеним на змаганнях.
—
Tomorrow the skeleton competitions at the 2026 Olympic Games begin. But instead of preparing for the starts, we are forced to fight for the right to compete in the “Memory Helmet”.
Let’s return to the topic of the IOC’s double standards. A similar situation occurred with the Israeli skeleton athlete: at the opening ceremony, he appeared wearing a kippah (which he had announced in advance on his social media), on which were written the names of the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches killed by terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics. In other words, the athlete literally placed the memory of the fallen on his head to honor them.
I honestly don’t understand how these two cases are fundamentally different. The IOC rules are the same for opening ceremonies, medal presentations, and competition venues.

Why such treatment towards Ukrainians?
The “Memory Helmet” must be allowed in competitions.

🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world!

They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

We paid the price for our dignity. I defended the interests of Ukraine and the memory of the athletes – skeleton racer Geraskevich's first comment after his disqualification from the Olympic Games.

"I still believe that we didn't break any rules and had every right to compete with this helmet on equal terms with other athletes who did so in the previous days of these Olympic Games. As for Ms. Coventry's arguments that she supports Ukraine and is in solidarity with Ukraine – I have serious doubts about that. Especially after this decision," Geraskevich said in a comment to Suspiltsemu.

[Mira of Kyiv 🇺🇦 @reshetz]

I can’t tell you how proud I am of this team

[MAKS 26 🇺🇦👀 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA]

❗️🇺🇦 “I did not receive any explanation about the Russian flag, why sanctions were not applied.” The first comment by Heraskevych after the disqualification.

"I still believe that we did not violate any rules and had every right to perform in this helmet on a par with other athletes who did similar things in previous days at these Olympic Games.

I did not receive any explanation about the Russian flag, why sanctions were not applied, why a skier has the right to perform with a message to a deceased teammate, and we do not.

The document also wrote that I publicly announced that these were victims of war, although, of course, when you look at the helmet, it is not clear. This helmet does not carry a political context, so I believe that I had every right to perform in it.

The arguments that Mrs. Coventry gave, that they support Ukraine and are in solidarity with Ukraine - there are great doubts about this. Especially after this decision. We paid the price for our dignity. I defended the interests of Ukraine and the memory of the athletes.

What next? It just happened and it's hard to say. We will probably prepare a lawsuit in CAS and continue to fight for our rights. I believe that we did not violate any rules."
