BAGNET reminds us that before the start of the team championship, Ukraine risked being without its leader Olga Harlan . In the first round, Olga defeated the Russian Anna Smirnova and refused to shake her hand. For this, she received a disqualification, but in the end her suspension from the World Championships was suspended.

The International Olympic Committee sent a letter to Harlan, in who was informed about her automatic admission to the 2024 Olympics.
