Ukraine’s Olympic workforce has issued an announcement calling for peace towards the backdrop of a Russian army build-up on the border between the international locations.
Thus far no different athletes have adopted the lead of slider Vladyslav Heraskevych. He held up an indication with the Ukrainian flag and the message “No Conflict in Ukraine” after ending a run within the skeleton competitors.
The Ukrainian workforce issued an announcement Saturday evening Beijing time increasing on his gesture.
“The Olympic Group of Ukraine that's competing on the XXIV Olympic Winter Video games in Beijing expresses a unanimous name for peace along with the native nation,” the Ukrainian Olympic Committee wrote on social media.
“Being hundreds of kilometers away from the Motherland, mentally we're with our households and buddies.” The assertion doesn’t point out Russia or the army scenario.
The Worldwide Olympic Committee bans most protest gestures on the Video games. It isn’t taking motion towards Heraskevych as a result of “‘No conflict’ is a message we are able to all relate to,” government director of the Olympic Video games Christophe Dubi mentioned Sunday.
However IOC spokesman Mark Adams says that doesn’t imply the IOC desires different athletes to hitch in.
