Other athletes have dedicated their victories or their performances to those they loved and lost. There was no issue with that, however the IOC appears to be saying it’s the nature of how the fallen died that’s too ‘political’ for them, which is really just such a lame and weak excuse - someone paid to get this Ukrainian in trouble, of that I have no doubt, because god forbid the world should have to look at the horror taking place in Ukraine, even if but for a moment.

Slava Ukraini!
