Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych wore a helmet decorated with images of people killed in the war in his home country during a training session at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The 27-year-old athlete shared that he had donned the helmet in an effort to speak out about Russia's war on Ukraine.

      I read it as Skeletor, saw blue and purple in the thumbnail and assumed it was a cosplayer. 🤷‍♂️
