That's pretty sad to hear. Hope she recovers soon. I am pretty excited of watching almost the entire short track program on TV for the first time ever so I hope it's just a false positive and I can see her just like all others .

Thanks for your nice words. I hope that she'll be able to start as well. She is one of our only few chances for a good result in Beijing, so that would be a shame if she couldn't start on Saturday in the heats.

Yes, we know. This is very bad situation. And a lot of practice on ice cancelled for her. 

True, but it's only the heats on day 1. Her level is so high that if the symptoms aren't too bad, she should be able to get through the heats just fine. Let's hope she'll test negative before the heats.

I don't think she'll be allowed to start in the heats if she has any symptoms.

 

And still it's short track, and it's even 500m short track, so it's not easy to say she gets through the heats even if she's healthy... you know, ice is slippery, the elbows are moving, nothing is certain...

They say she doesn't have any sympthoms? And the second test was "less positive" than the first one so let's hope she recovers by Friday.

Fingers crossed for a recovery. THis is ridiculous now... so many top athletes missing out or at the risk of missing out

I really hope this is true.

So excited for our debut tomorrow. Seems like a fair enough draw for Aščić, even though of course she is the 4th place favorite if everything goes according to form on paper.

Natalia Maliszewska has been released from isolation
