Hey maybe Roman can over perform, but it does look really bleak

He had a relatively decent performance at the Rostelecom Cup Grand Prix so maybe he can finish ahead of and then we can hope finishes ahead of so we don't fall too far behind.

Meanwhile, there is still slight chance for Čater to compete at least in SG and AC, if he can produce some negative tests fast enough.

 

Rok Marguč, another snowboarder, will carry the flag instead of Žan Košir.

 Dunja Zdouc, Biathlon.

 

Negative, but too high CT-Value to entry China.

That is awful. We had all the time been hoping that, IF there was a positive test on D-Day, it would have a low enough CT value. Didn't think that there's also the possibility of the other way around...

Olena Bilosiuk, Biathlon. Will miss first races.

Updates from Hockey bubble in Bratislava:

 

 

Another coronavirus case was added to the Slovak national hockey team the day before Wednesday's departure for the Olympic Games in Beijing.

 

Forward Michal Krištof also had a positive test. Peter Cehlárik, whose infection was reported by the team's management on Monday, continues to show a positive result. From the team Staff, also the goaltenders coach Ján Lašák tested positive in the Bratislava "bubble".

 

"After testing, we had two more cases. Mišo Krištof was positive, but his load of infectivity is quite satisfactory. We will follow him further, we will see how it will develop. Peter Cehlárik still has a positive result. Our colleague from the team staff, Ján Lašák, also had a positive test, but he also has a relatively low charge. I talked to him, he shows practically no symptoms, he feels 99 percent healthy, he only has micro-fatigue, "said assistant general manager Oto Haščák during an online press conference. According to him, the team management does not panic in this situation either: "We assess the situation from hour to hour, we are patient in the way we proceed. Even today we have moved the training to know the results of the morning tests. Only players who will negative and will have a charge that meets the requirements of the IOC will take part to the training session. " According to Haščák, defender Mário Grman also had higher values in the tests: "It is currently being investigated whether Covid is in his final or beginning phase. He is in a position that he will not be able to train today, but we are waiting for the result of the next test."

 

TASR reminds that players need a five-day quarantine and four negative coronavirus tests before departure.

 

Without Cehlárik and Krištof, 19 players should leave Slovakia on Wednesday. The national team management is preparing for all possibilities, including the scenario that both Cehlárik and Krištof will not be able to play at the Olympic Games. "It is the two players from the starting line-up who are our priorities. Cehlárik as the leader player also of our Power-Play special team, We will be patiently waiting for the situation to develop. If necessary we will inform you about eventual alternates. But, We are still patient," Haščák emphasized, adding that the results of Tuesday's (Todays) tests would be important.

 

 

About the Alternates: 3 out of the 6 names were so far revealed, Róbert Lantoši and Adam Liška (Forwards) and the Croatian-Slovak Mislav Rosandič (Defence). The guys should be prepared if needed to join the team if necessary.

Cehlárik still positive - does not look good at all here, but since it is our must #1 player we will wait as long as necessary

 

Krištof had negative test, here it looks better, he wil stay in the Bratislava bubble and if in the next 2-3 days will have 3 more negative tests he will fly solo to Beijing.

 

Grman had again questionable result, so to not endanger anyone he will stay as well in the bubble, hopefully he will collect 4 negative tests in the next days and will fly to China as well.

 

Goaltenders coach Lašák had false positive test yesterday, the retested same test of Monday showed it was really the case and was negative,also his yesterday test was negative and thus will fly with the team today.

 

The players who joined the bubble on Monday (apart Krištof) are all negative and will fly today as well.
