Watch: Ukrainian skeleton racer displays images of athletes killed in war on his helmet

A Ukrainian skeleton racer at the Winter Olympics has been training in a helmet with images of athletes killed during the war in Ukraine.

Vladyslav Heraskevych is delivering on a promise to use the Olympics to keep attention on the conflict, despite Olympic rules prohibiting political demonstrations at venues.

The 26-year-old said the International Olympic Committee had contacted Ukraine's Olympic Committee over his helmet and that the case was still being processed.
