The International Olympic Committee (IOC) authorized on Tuesday (10) the Ukrainian flag bearer at the Milan-Cortina Winter Games to wear a black armband, after he was prevented from using a helmet that displayed photos of athletes from his country who were killed during the Russian invasion.

“We consider this a good compromise,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told the press, reminding that the organization prohibits any political demonstration during Olympic competitions or ceremonies.
