During the singles luge at the 2026 Olympics, Smaha wrote "remembrance is not a violation" on her glove to protest the disqualification of skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych. The IOC barred Heraskevych from competing due to his helmet, which paid tribute to athletes killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [2]
