Ukrainian skeleton rider Vladislav Geraskevich reacted to the public support of Sergey Bubka by Oleksandr Usyk and Vasily Lomachenko.
The athlete called for Bubka to be stripped of the title 'Hero of Ukraine,' emphasizing the fundamental difference between sports achievements and the current position of the functionary.
— Surprised that so many boxers spoke in support of Bubka?
— I saw that many wrote specifically about his achievements as an athlete. I want it to be clear: I never had any complaints against him as an athlete. He is a legendary athlete—there is no exaggeration here.
But there are questions to him as an official and as a person who takes a position, let's say, not even neutral. We see that his actions harm Ukraine. And it is obvious to me that he should not hold the title of 'Hero of Ukraine.' It is very unfortunate that this is not yet obvious to everyone.
