Who tested positive and is, or might be, out of the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022?

ski jumper Radek Rýdl was tested positive and will surely not compete on normal hill. He has got the 5th spot right now. ..... Meanwhile ice hockey team has some troubles .... Currently we have 9 players in Beijing and the goalie on the ice is their goalie curator 😅😅. Other 3 nominated goalies have had some troubles with covid tests as being positive/negative/not clear result ..... They should have flown on Tuesday, now, we will be very happy if at least one goalie can fly on Wednesday ....

Natalia Czerwonka, Magdalena Czyszczoń, Marek Kania - speed skating (they are already in China)

In addition Karolina Bosiek & Damian Żurek tested positive before flying to China so they are still in Poland.

Sofia Mabergs, Curling

Niko Kytosaho (ski jumping). He probably misses the normal hill competition and the mixed event is questionable.

ice hockey player Peter Cehlarik tested positive just yesterday and cannot fly to Beijing yet 😢😢

Are we that surprised though?  There were a lot of positives before Tokyo as well, but it wasn't as big of a story.  We knew this was going to be a story

This is looking like a lucky  ' bad luck' draw

I barely heard any other story in the first days

 

It did go down quickly at some point, yes. Hopefully that'll be the case here, but the thing is this variant is way, way, way easier to spread. Which doesn't necessarily make it dangerous from a health perspective, but makes it a disaster from a sports perspective when we're still all in "positive = out" mode.
