He added that for this incident, the Russian side needs to wait for an explanation from Russian sports officials or the IOC.

International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said on the 9th that the postponement of the award ceremony of the figure skating team competition was due to "legal issues", but did not disclose the specific reasons. At the press conference on the 10th, he said that this "legal issue" is still being studied and resolved, and the current statement that the award ceremony was postponed because "Russian players are involved in banned drugs" is pure speculation.
