Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych, the skeleton athlete who insisted on wearing a helmet that pays tribute to athletes and coaches killed in the war with Russia. The International Olympic Committee banned Heraskevych from competing at the Milan Cortina Games, ruling the helmet breaks rules against political statements in competition.

...but banned the Russians from the games altogether in what is clearly a political statement.

The International Olympic Committee suspended the ROC in October 2023, months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The suspension was the result of the ROC's decision to include regional sports organizations under the authority of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, according to the IOC.

The ROC's action was "a breach of the Olympic Charter because it violates the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine, as recognised by the IOC in accordance with the Olympic Charter," the IOC said.

They aren't a political organization. They are a religious organization. They are anti-Christian and pro Satan.

The Olympics is just a money distribution service. The competitors don't make jack. The cities that host don't make jack and often lose money. All the real money goes to NGO bullshite charity that actually is just a money making deal for those that run the world.
