意大利科尔蒂纳丹佩佐—乌克兰钢架雪车运动员弗拉迪斯拉夫·赫拉舍夫维奇（Vladyslav Heraskevych）在拒绝国际奥委会（IOC）最后时刻提出的更换头盔要求后，将无法参加米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会。该头盔原本用于纪念在俄罗斯对乌克兰战争中遇难的同胞。
周四上午8:15左右，距离男子钢架雪车比赛开始约75分钟时，国际奥委会主席柯斯蒂·考文垂（Kirsty Coventry）在赛道顶端等候赫拉舍夫维奇。
两人进入私密区域简短交谈，考文垂未能改变赫拉舍夫维奇的决定。这位乌克兰运动员简短回应了记者提问，表示将向体育仲裁法庭（CAS）提起申诉。
“难以言表，内心一片空虚。”他说。
“这是我们尊严的代价。”他在社交媒体帖子中补充道。

会面结束后，考文垂在记者面前发言时泪流满面。
“我本不该来这里，但我认为与他面对面交谈非常重要。”路透社援引考文垂的话称，“没有人，尤其是我，反对这个信息传递，它意义深远，是对逝者的纪念。但挑战在于找到赛场内的解决方案。遗憾的是我们未能达成共识。我真的希望他能参赛，这是令人情绪激动的一天。”
国际奥委会在声明中表示，决定是“遗憾地”做出的。
“尽管国际奥委会与赫拉舍夫维奇先生进行了多次沟通和面对面会面（包括今天上午与主席柯斯蒂·考文垂的会面），但他未考虑任何妥协方案。”国际奥委会称，“我们非常希望赫拉舍夫维奇先生能够参赛，因此才与其沟通，寻求最尊重的方式来回应他纪念在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后遇难的同胞的愿望。本案的核心不在于信息本身，而在于表达的场合。”

赫拉舍夫维奇此次奥运之行的头盔经过定制，上面印有20多名在战争中遇难的乌克兰运动员和教练的面孔。这场冲突始于2022年北京冬奥会结束后不久。
国际奥委会周一晚间表示，头盔在比赛中不被允许，理由是违反了禁止在奥运赛场上表达政治言论的规定。然而，赫拉舍夫维奇仍在周二和周三的训练中佩戴该头盔，明知可能因此被禁止参赛。
“头盔并未违反任何国际奥委会规定。”赫拉舍夫维奇强调。
国际奥委会此前曾支持赫拉舍夫维奇。2022年北京冬奥会，他在第四轮（最后一轮）比赛后展示“乌克兰无战事”标语时，国际奥委会称其仅为呼吁和平，未认定其违反奥林匹克宪章。
“我们希望他参赛，我们非常希望他能拥有自己的奥运时刻。”国际奥委会发言人马克·亚当斯（Mark Adams）周三表示，“这非常重要，我们希望所有运动员都能拥有公平竞技的舞台。”
比赛前两轮于周四进行，后两轮于周五晚举行。赫拉舍夫维奇曾是奖牌有力争夺者。
为赫拉舍夫维奇制作头盔的乌克兰艺术家伊琳娜·普罗茨（Iryna Protts）周三在基辅接受CBS新闻记者艾丹·斯特雷奇采访时表示，如果他不能佩戴该头盔，她会“非常难过”。
“我的世界充满虚伪。”她说，“我们很多人被杀害，包括知识分子、商人、运动员。战争已持续四年，却感觉无人在意，所有人都只是沉默旁观。”
Ukrainian Olympian banned from Winter Games over helmet showing compatriots killed in Russia’s war

Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy— Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych is out of the Milan Cortina Games after refusing a last-minute plea from the International Olympic Committee to use a helmet other than the one that honors athletes killed in Russia’s war on his country.
IOC President Kirsty Coventry was waiting for Heraskevych at the top of the track when he arrived around 8:15 a.m. Thursday, about 75 minutes before the start of the men’s skeleton race.
They went into a private area and spoke briefly, and Coventry was unable to change Heraskevych’s mind. The Ukrainian athlete briefly addressed reporters and said he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
“It’s hard to say or put into words. It’s emptiness,” he said.
“This is price of our dignity,” he added in a social media post.

Coventry spoke with reporters after the meeting, tears rolling down her face as she spoke.
“I was not meant to be here but I thought it was really important to come here and talk to him face to face,” Coventry told reporters, according to the Reuters news agency. “No one, especially me, is disagreeing with the messaging, it’s a powerful message, it’s a message of remembrance, of memory. The challenge was to find a solution for the field of play. Sadly we’ve not been able to find that solution. I really wanted to see him race. It’s been an emotional morning.”
The IOC added that it made its decision “with regret.”
“Despite multiple exchanges and in-person meetings between the IOC and Mr Heraskevych, the last one this morning with IOC President Kirsty Coventry, he did not consider any form of compromise,” the IOC said in a statement. “The IOC was very keen for Mr Heraskevych to compete. This is why the IOC sat down with him to look for the most respectful way to address his desire to remember his fellow athletes who have lost their lives following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The essence of this case is not about the message, it is about where he wanted to express it.”

Heraskevych came to the Olympics with a customized helmet showing the faces of more than 20 Ukrainian athletes and coaches who were killed during the war, a conflict that started shortly after the 2022 Beijing Games ended.
The IOC said Monday night that the helmet wouldn’t be allowed in competition, citing a rule against making political statements on the Olympic field of play. Heraskevych wore the helmet for training Tuesday and Wednesday anyway, knowing the IOC could ultimately keep him from the Olympic race.
“The helmet does not violate any IOC rules,” Heraskevych said.
The IOC had sided with Heraskevych before. When he displayed a “No war in Ukraine” sign after his fourth and final run at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, the IOC said he was simply calling for peace and did not find him in violation of the Olympic charter.
“We want him to compete. We really, really want him to have his moment,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Wednesday. “That’s very, very important. We want all athletes to have their moment and that’s the point. We want all our athletes to have a fair and level playing field.”
The first two runs of the race were Thursday, with the final two runs on Friday night. Heraskevych was a legitimate medal hopeful.
Speaking with CBS News’ Aidan Stretch in Kyiv on Wednesday, Ukrainian artist Iryna Protts, who made Heraskevych’s helmet, said she would be “very upset” if he wasn’t allowed to wear it.
“This world of mine looks like hypocrisy,” she said. “A lot of our people have been killed. Our intelligent people have been killed. Our businesspeople have been killed. Our athletes have been killed. And now it’s already the fourth year of the war, and it feels like no one cares. Everyone just looks on, silently.”
