Skeleton at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

The circus goes on.

 

The IOC annuled accreditation of Herskevych to make him leave the Olympic village.

 

The IOC reinstated accreditation of Herskevych - so he can stay at the Games.

 

 

TAS/CAS to follow and... it turned out that the IOC disqualified Herskevych BEFORE the start when he did not wear the helmet.

So there was no violation by the moment of disqualification.

I'm sorry to hear that. First of all, there is no place for politics at the Olympics. Second, the way IOC handled this case, was wrong.

Poor decision from IOC to DQ the  racer. His gesture was not political but in remembrance for his friends whom he has lost ! How is that political and against olympic charter?? I am sure CAS will overturn this decision . Shameful how rotten the top leadership of such important international sports organization has become.  If anything I feel it is IOC who is making a politically motivated decision here!

The IOC know who is hosting the games in 2028. This is just them getting ready for having to bow much of whatever Trump demands while extraditing some wins like FIFA are doing.
