        Skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych secured a quota for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games following the final World Cup stage of the season in Winterberg, Germany, the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine said.

        Heraskevych finished 11th in the World Cup race, which was enough to meet the Olympic qualification requirements.
