Well, not only the Olympic personel. Found 20 cases amongst Beijing citizens which is the biggest increase in one day within last half an year. Milions of ppl need to do covid tests now.

This is the world we live in ...... Yet competing for another country is still business for you. If you had no money and this opportunity, you would do it, too. African athletes are not very rich, and when I see the high competition in Kenya or Ethiopia, I am not surprised they choose and other countries where they will be the top and will be able to compete at the biggest sport events in the world....... For China naturalizing ice hockey players - male and female, it is a different story though with different circumstances but I also assume that China has offered them conditions which are hard to refuse .... Let's just wish they don't beat hockey team. Both male and female 😅😅. After all, Czech has also one naturalized athlete in Beijing 😎

Yeah, Samkova was boarding her own level. She was the strongest contestant for gold and probably a medal contestand in the mixed team competition with Jan Kubicik. It is a real pity but nothing we can do .... Maybe in Cortina ..... Now, the whole nation wishes her fast and full recovery.

Sure, I am aware of that. I live in this system since the covid outbreak has started. But I am talking about it especially from the perspective of organizers and government...... I know their athletes take the virus very seriously, I can see that on foreign athletes as well. Yet, they test positive. And the chinese athletes also travel the world and participate the world cups ....... Well, as I said. I have faith and believe that the Games will be really great and fair by all means🙂💪

I would rather disagree. I think this has two sides of the coin. 1) With only Chinese players would be like me competing against Aksel Lund Svindal on the ski slope .... So embarrasment and something that IOC would not allow. 2) China wanted their team so IOC and China needed to compromise both...... IOC said you have a bit competitive team, we will let you play..... What better option you have than put up Kunlun together? Players are offered freaking crazy money (as China is not afraid of wasting it) and they are offered dual citizenship, like generally nobody else is allowed to have. Generally, I am not saying it is 100% right thing to do. Of course, if China wanted to be free of these things, they would just easily drop it and gave the place to or depending when they would give it up. But they don't want to lose the face in front of their home crowds ...... So in this case from IOC and China sides, it is a win-win situation. Just IIHF felt a bit weird about it and and felt kinda betrayed, especially Norwegian team as I guess they think that their Olympic spot has been stolen ..... national team so far did not achieve something that team did 4 years ago before the Pyeongchang Olympics. But at least they got a more competitive team ..... Whether it was the right decision? We will in few weeks and it will also an interesting sign for IOC how to handle this situation in the future ....

As a person who has experiences quite enough in journalist world ..... Just wonder why to release such a article. I know there might be some ppl doubting this issue in the world but releasing such kind of article is kinda what they want .... https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202201/29/WS61f52f96a310cdd39bc842e8.html As for me, we can already see some athletes, personnel and other people who tested positive after arriving to Beijing but there has been silence about Chinese athletes so far ..... I don't want to offend of our Chinese members here in totallympics or anywhere else ..... But what if a Chinese athlete or team member gets covid positive? Will it be released into the world of media or social media? Can everybody be sure that Chinese authorities will not just try to cover the positive covid test result and let the athlete compete because he/she is a medal contestant? Me, after living in China for almost 7 years, I have always been hoping for the good changes. And as I see some pre-Olympic feedback from athletes and others, it looks good. I just truly hope everything will stay FAIR PLAY from the Chinese side. Because I honestly wish them to organize successful Olympics in fair play spirit without any cover ups..... Nobody is interested in second Sochi and their "sample swapping game" .... So I truly hope for their fair play Games by all means. Because this is the only way, how they can earn more respect from the entire world. 加油· !!

Honestly surprised to read this article on China Daily ...... About our tiny country when you read nearly nothing about other countries regarding the Olympics .... Anyways, thumbs up :-) https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202201/29/WS61f4d7d5a310cdd39bc841ed.html

@brunamoura Stay strong💪💪💪 We all are with you💪💪💪💪 P.S. I hope for a response from IOC as I think they should get this info and send good wishes to Bruna 💛❤️

Yeah, read it just yesterday 🙂 .. on FIS page was the accepted quota for some time ..... Was waiting for the name who is actually gonna fly. Still surprised Gabriela Capová is not going ......

Yeah bro. She mentioned that she felt her body does not listen to her this season. Went for blood test before the Games and found oit she has diabetes type 1. She does not give up Olympic dream in Czech colors but she will decide the further steps after the Games....

How do you check this on Beijing 2022 website? I was able to check how many entries per sport. But when I go to the athlete section, always access denied.....

Artem Anisimov tests covid positive ...... https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2022/01/26/artem-anisimov-covid-coronavirus-russia-olympics-hockey/

Anna Fernstädt will compete in Beijing this year despite being dignosed having diabetes just yesterday.....

Well, according to FIS page after all accepted the additional quota . So after Anezka Indrackova and Radek Rydl in ski jumping, we recieved another reallocation. So I suppose the next quota may go to Gabriela Capová or Celine Sommerová or Tereza Nová. Waiting for confirmation as COC and Czech media are silent .... Will see tomorrow ...

Same here. If it was male athlete, they would probably get quota for Ondrej Berndt. For female, I doubt it ....

Natalie Mlynkova tested positive and won't fly on 27th ..... There is also one case among Czech alternates (11 girls) so none of them can fly either as they trained together every day

I think this is wrong info. I think the requirment is 5 negative tests. Which does not have to mean 5 days ...

Am not saying she will join skiathlon on 5th. But that's not the date when Olympics finish. Bjervig obviously said that both might be out of the entire Games ...... Which I consider as a nonsense .....

Bjervig is even said that he doubts them to participate in the Olympics that Norway has enough reserve athletes to take their place ....... Later followed up .... "But we are doing everything to let them compete" ..... Well, their quarantine finishes in Feb. 3rd .... Wish them all the best...

https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1118272/german-olympic-team-positive-covid-case In the article, they say amongst the 3 positive tested people is one athlete. Anybody knows who tested positive?

Yeah, I heard about the refusal and I know that male jumper was 1st below the line. Just did not expect will confirm another spot with all those "great results" this season.... Still gotta wait for the official word from Czech ski federation anyway....

has 5th spot in ski jumping??😳😳 In Czech media nobody has said a word that Radek Rýdl is going, too ......

I think would rather accept male quota than female quota. We may have some rising stars amongst girls, but currently maybe competitive with developing countries. I'd rather see a quota for Ondřej Berndt or Filip Forejtek

Maybe next time, the ice hockey coach can say that he will take 23 players instead of 25 in order to get a spot in mixed doubles curling competition ...... 💪💪
