Yea I think definitely there was a good reason for that decision. It look a little strange that she come last minute, but think about it. She was a little injured after GPF so probably need some special treatement, maybe a little training deficite could be there. That does not help. Also the fact that Zhenya is there. Everybody is putting them agains each other. That's hard for both to concentrate. They are just two very young girls who have a common history. What's more, both wanna prove something, Zhenya she is good enough after bad fall season, Alina that she is winner and trully deserve to win olympic gold. Junior ladies are there, the two of them with quads. There is a lot to handle for 16 year old girl. There will be extrem pressure. The atmosphere will be brutal. So yea, it can be a little risky arrive that late, but also it can help, and I think that there is more positive aspects then negative. Also Eteri was with her the whole time, she come with her, in train she spend time with Diana, so in friendly atmospehe. Trains are also not that bad, you can walk there, stretch a little .. it will be ok.
She looks happy and healthy today! That is what is most important
Maybe a train trip was exactly what was needed. Something different. A train seems much more fun and comfortable than a plane. And less risk of exposure to sickness. With Diana there it must have been like a sleepover in motion

It's a little bit strange to see all the girls competing against one another, Alina against Sasha, Anna and Alena, but that's what sport is...friends outside the ice, rivals on the ice
