We were delighted to welcome Vladyslav Heraskevych to The Rose Hotel.
Vladyslav is Ukraine's leading skeleton athlete and a two-time Olympian, known worldwide for using his platform to stand up for human rights and to support his country through sport.
Yesterday, he shared his story at the "Helmet of Memory: The Courage to Speak the Truth" event, speaking about resilience, courage, and the inspiration behind the Helmet of Memory, which honours Ukrainian athletes and coaches who have lost their lives during the war.
It was a privilege to host Vladyslav during his time in Tralee and to welcome such an inspiring guest to The Rose Hotel.
Members of our team pictured here with Vladyslav during his stay:
Ellen Griffin, Iryna Piatashova, Olena Beskosta, Iryna Horbachova and Kateryna Ostapenko & Mark Sullivan.
