En: The Helsingin Olympiastadion basked in the spring sunlight. Fi: Vappu oli alkanut, ja kaupungin kaduilla ihmiset juhlivat iloisesti. En: Vappu had begun, and people celebrated joyfully in the city's streets. Fi: Iloinen puheiden sorina kuului kauas. En: The cheerful chatter could be heard from afar. Fi: Stadionin sisällä, kuitenkin, tunnelma oli jännittynyt. En: Inside the stadium, however, the atmosphere was tense. Fi: Kalle istui pitkässä neuvottelupöydässä.
