to China’s Beijing to prove their mettle in the Winter Olympic Games, to
kick-start on January 4, 2022. According to the head of the Romanian delegation,

more positions for the Romanian delegation. Trisca went on to say vaccination
was not mandatory for the athletes’ participation in the Games. However, Florin
Trisca also said, all members of the Romanian delegation ahead of the Winter Olympic
Games were vaccinated. In another development, the President of the Romanian Olympic
