The main concern was different.

That the Olympics will be canceled.

One of the last hassles on this topic we had a few days before the opening of the Games, when the news came out that Japan was going to discuss this issue again.

Earlier, Danchenko told how the transfer of the Olympic Games affected the preparation of Romashina and Kolesnichenko.
