Why Vladislav Heraskevych’s disqualification over a “memorial helmet” became a matter of principle - and how it was received in Ukraine. Dīvs Reiznieks speaks with Oleksandr Hlyvynskyi, head of the Ukrainian Sports Press Association, about the limits of the International Olympic Committee’s “neutrality,” double standards, and how sport in Ukraine continues even under wartime conditions. Also: how athletes support the army, the role sport may play in rebuilding the country after the war, and why solidarity from other nations in moments like these is more than symbolism.
This is a complete interview without translation from the Latvian Radio’s podcast "Drošinātājs" (“The Fuse”), dedicated to the people of Ukraine and their fight against Russian aggression.
