Heraskevych’s bravery is nothing compared to what his lost friends faced. Perhaps that’s the entire point. Should he be disallowed from competing on Thursday, he will be remembered in Ukraine as an athlete who took a bold stand, who put the love of his countrymen over the pursuit of gold, silver or bronze. The rest of the world? Whatever side of the issue you’re on, you have to admit it’s a principled stand.
