It's only day seven of the Winter Olympics but there has already been a huge amount of drama. The IOC's decision to forbid Vladyslav Heraskevych from competing at the games in Milan and Cortina has invoked fury across the whole competition.

The Ukrainian was told he is not allowed to wear his helmet, which has been adorned with the faces of several Ukrainian athletes who have been killed as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Initially, his entire accreditation was stripped from him, but IOC president Kirsty Coventry instructed a U-turn to be made, meaning Heraskevych is allowed to remain in Milan and Cortina, but not compete. As his family and team come to terms with the news, Team GB's search for a medal at the games is continuing. For any and all updates on the Winter Olympics, stay with us at Express Sport.
