CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — The Court of Arbitration for Sport was hearing the appeal surrounding the disqualification of Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych from the Milan Cortina Games on Friday, though it still isn't clear how he could compete in these Olympics even if he wins his case. Meanwhile, his disqualification was justified because he insisted on bringing his messaging — a tribute helmet — onto the field of play, International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry reiterated Friday. Heraskevych was in Milan for the hearing Friday, still believing that his plan to wear a helmet displaying the images of more than 20 Ukrainian athletes and coaches who have been killed since Russia invaded their country in 2022 was not in violation of the Olympic Charter.
