This is disgusting behaviour by the IOC. How is it political to remember people who died in a war?

Bro did his country proud ✊

'helmet featuring portraits of Ukrainian athletes killed during the war' ...now, that is respectful. It's only political in a way that if you're punishing people for it then you're the baddies.

If it had instead been a helmet featuring Calvin pissing on 1mil+ dead Russian soldiers, then there would be room to criticize (on behalf of Bill Watterson, of course)
