As “FACTY” wrote, recently Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Geraskevych spoke from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada and called on deputies to strip Olympic champion Serhiy Bubka of the title of Hero of Ukraine.
Let us recall that Sergey Bubka was distinguished not only by his sporting achievements, but also by his active participation in international organizations. In particular, as president of the International Masters Games Association (IMGA), which allowed Russian athletes to perform with national symbols.
