The very first athlete headed to Beijing. Sochi 2014 champion in Snowboarding Parallel Patrizia Kummer will arrive to Beijing and start the 3 week isolation for uvaccinated athletes

 

btw: She is not even officially nominated and qualified by the NOC yet

Usually it means 2 weeks in hotel in China, only the last week allowed training outside. Does she seriously mean it?

...is she literally going to be the unvaxed athlete going? I guess we should find out pretty quickly who they all are given the isolation period.

well I mostly write comments about sports I'm more informed about. but it doesn't mean I don't follow other sports. I just read others comments and learn from them. I love watching sports in general. major competitions though, not all the World Cups.

 

if I'm not wrong since 2006 (the first time I watched the WOG) I didn't miss a single final. I think I'm more interested in Alpine, Biathlon, Figure skating, even Curling and Short Track

 

the only winter sport I have hard time to enjoy is Ice Hockey (and maybe Nordic Combined, I don't know why that even exists) I tried to watch and like Ice hockey but it's just not my taste I still watch the gold medal match.

noooooooo...   

 

p.s. about Nordic Combined...so, you'd be shocked if I tell you that's the "true" Nordic Skiing discipline and that in the early times of Wintersports that was the only existing Nordic discipline...

only quite a few years later, Cross-Country Skiing and Ski Jumping became single disciplines and started to develop as standalone sports (with true specialists)...

I didn't make the reservation to buy the olympic notes. I think it almost sold out and begin the speculation now.

China should ban unvaccinated western athletes just like what Australia is doing. Such move is harsh but it' for the safety of the general public anyway.
