Vladyslav Heraskevych, a Ukrainian athlete, has been banned from competing in the skeleton event at the 2026 Winter Olympics and had his accreditation removed, with BBC Sport’s Hazel Irvine and Lizzy Yarnold expressing “sadness and real surprise” over the decision.
Details of the ban are being discussed by Hazel Irvine and Lizzy Yarnold, but no further information is available at this time.
The removal of Heraskevych’s accreditation and ban from competition will prevent him from participating in the skeleton event at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and the situation will likely be closely monitored by athletes and officials in the coming days.
