The president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, has praised the safety and security measures taken by the officials for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
There were concerns about terror threats in the Russian city in the build-up to the Games, but the 60-year-old insists that there have been no problems so far.
"The Russian authorities are doing this very well and having the checks as far as possible from competition venues or the Olympic Park, and addressing the issues in a way which doesn't infringe on the Olympic atmosphere," he told BBC Sport.
"It's going very well and you know this when you speak with the athletes," added Bach.
"I have been talking to quite a few and I haven't heard a single complaint, and this is what counts because the Games are for the athletes."
Germany currently lead the Sochi medals table with seven goals, two silvers and one bronze.
