s2e13: sport plays such a crucial identity-shaping role in Ukraine - athletes of different genders, ethnicities, and skin colors helped to crystalize our feeling of national pride and what it means to be a Ukrainian in the last three decades since the end of the last Russian occupation. That's why it is no surprise that when another Russian assault started this year, thousands of Ukrainian athletes went to the frontline to defend Ukraine or rally global solidarity worldwide — they know very well what's at stake in this war. This episode features Vladyslav Heraskevych, a Ukrainian two-time Olympian athlete and the first-ever Ukrainian skeleton racer.
