A Ukrainian skeleton racer has been kicked out of the Winter Olympic Games for wearing a helmet which has pictures of those killed in the war with Russia.
Vladyslav Heraskevych had his accreditation stripped when he refused to "comply with the IOC guidelines on athlete expression".
Olympic president Kirsty Coventry broke down in tears as she told reporters that they couldn’t find a solution.
Heraskevych says the IOC’s decision plays "along with Russia’s narrative".
