Leo Johansson from Sweden restes positive for covid at arrival in China.

 

He had Covid a few weeks ago and tested 6 times negative after that so this should hopefully just be small rests of the virus and not be able to infect others..

Hopefully he tests negative soon enough though...

The Norwegian team has announced that Anne Kjersti Kalvaa, that tested COVID positive a couple of days ago, will be replaced by Ragnhild Haga in the Norwegian Olympic team. Very unfortunate situation for Kalvaa. :(

 

The Norwegian team will announce soon, likely tomorrow, what will happen with Heidi Weng. The Norwegian female olympic team will fly to Beijing February 1st.

How is Bruna doing ? :(, Is there any indications when she will be able to leave the hospital ?

Not really. Or well, not exactly, although we do have hope for it to not take super long. We had some hopes for her to be transported to the Netherlands tomorrow or even today, but she still needs a surgery on both her left arm and left foot, which can't wait too long. To do that, a hospital in the Netherlands would need to receive her, but that's not possible on such short notice. Exceptions are possible for surgeries that really need to be done here (but that's not the case, Bolzano hospital in the centre of skiing-accident world obviously knows their way around fractures) or in case the patient is in a country where hospitals aren't known to be similar in terms of quality. Italian hospitals are seen as excellent, so an exception can't be made to receive her here. In short: the surgeries will need to happen in Italy, hopefully still tomorrow.

 

Since we're talking about surgeries for fractures, I am assuming that afterwards she most likely doesn't need to stay in the hospital too long, so we do have hope for her to be here in less than a week. The advantages of doing the surgeries in Italy are multiple, at least: we win time by doing so, her pain (especially to her foot) will be relieved much sooner and when being transported (most likely by a sort of 'ambulance taxi' we can hire), she can be dropped off straight here at home instead of in a hospital.

Plus Simen Hegstad Krüger tested positive and won't be defending his skiathlon gold next week.

Thanks for your time and updates buddy. Stay strong, I am (pretty sure we all are) still thinking about you both :hug:

 

btw, I sincerely hope all health and insurance costs are covered by the Brazilian federation/comittee, it is the least they should do

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
