On 19 February Ukrainian athletes asked for and were refused permission by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to wear black arm bands to honor those killed in the violent clashes in Kyiv the previous day.[4] According to press reports Lisohor and Serdyuk had refused to start because they had been denied to wear black arm bands.[5] The National Olympic Committee of Ukraine claimed Serdyuk was injured.[6]
