Hoping for a better future

Vladyslav Heraskevych and Yaroslav Lavreniuk are the only athletes from Ukraine competing at the world bobsled and skeleton championships in Lake Placid, New York, despite the ongoing war in their homeland.

Heraskevych acknowledged the emotional toll of the war, stating, "I think every one of us lost some friends at this point," emphasizing their hope to bring joy to Ukrainians through their competition.
Despite the challenges, the athletes strive to represent Ukraine on the international stage.
