Organizers of the 2026 Olympics asked a Ukrainian athlete, whose father was killed in the war, to erase the words “Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine” from her skis

“I’m upset. Since 2024, at every start I raise my skis and always show this inscription. It’s been in every broadcast. And for two years no one told me to remove it.”

Ukrainian athlete also said that the organizers asked her to erase these words from her skis before her final performance in Italy.

“It hurts me a lot, because I didn’t write it for nothing. I don’t want popularity — I just have my own story, and my heart hurts too. When I showed the words ‘Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine’ on camera, there was a lot of hate, people saying I wanted money and so on. I didn’t pay attention to it, but then Enver Nazimovych [my coach] was told that I had to erase it,” Angelina said on the YouTube channel Glyvynskyi Pro Sport.

The 21-year-old Ukrainian explained why she was not ready to follow the path of skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified for intending to compete in a “helmet of remembrance,” and spoke about her difficult feelings about this choice:

“I erased it. We can argue about it, but when you train for four years and come here knowing the next chance will be in four years… throwing away all that work isn’t an option either. I believe you can compete first and then show it. I’m young, I want to stay in this sport, and I’m not planning to end my career.

If I knew that in two years, or even two months, I would finish anyway, then maybe I could argue. But I want to keep doing freestyle skiing and represent our country with dignity on the international level, so I won’t do that,” Brykina said.

It should be noted that in the first qualification Angelina performed a jump after which she showed the inscription on her skis — “Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Pavlo Brykin, the athlete’s father, had been fighting in eastern Ukraine since 2015. He was a grenadier in the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade. Before the full-scale war he worked as a rescuer. He mobilized in the first days of the full-scale invasion.

Pavlo died on August 6, 2022, from wounds received in a battle with an enemy sabotage-reconnaissance group near the village of Blahodatne in Mykolaiv region. He left behind five children and his wife.

Personally, I understand how difficult this choice was for a young athlete, and I sympathize with her. As I wrote in another post, unfortunately, there is No medal for resistance:

💬 0 🔁 7 ❤️ 28 · There are no medals for resilience · Just as there are no national survival competitions during a military invasion. No on

With this post, I also want to remind everyone that Russian and Belarusian athletes at this year’s Paralympics will compete under their national symbols. Some of these Paralympians are former military personnel who took part in Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine.

A large shape seemed to appear in the distance. It was looking around frantically, dragging a huge axe behind it through mounds of pale moult.

It was Valor! It appears they have found another way into the kingdom’s edge. But of course they didn’t know where to look for their waiting companion.

— @valiant-combatant

*Lurk was kinda just sitting on a platform that they found, waiting patiently until they heard and saw Valor.*

*They stood up, scampering over to them.* "Valor!!!!!" *They exclaimed, climbing up his side and perching on their shoulder.*
