  • Vladyslav Heraskevych
    Feb 14 2026

    Vladyslav Heraskevych’s journey from pioneering Olympic skeleton racer to the center of an international rules dispute takes focus as Rachel Teichman, LCSW, and King Supernuts, VCV, read through his story. The episode explores the controversy surrounding his “helmet of memory,” which featured 24 Ukrainian athletes killed in the Russian invasion and ultimately led to his disqualification under Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter. As the two move through the aftermath — including appeals, public reactions, and the slogan “Remembrance is not a violation” — the discussion highlights how remembrance, regulation, and sport collided on the Olympic stage.
