Any idea when the heat draws for Friday morning will be known?

Confirmed. They flew together and also with table tennis players, our only archer, cyclists and gymnasts

Well, that would be the only possibility..... Let me check ....

Because both teams - Perušič/Schweiner a Nausch/Hermannová have completely different program and travel to different tournaments. They don't meet often. If they trained together and everything, I would accept that .... But they don't train or compete together much.

nightmare regarding covid. After unnamed team member and beach volleyball player Ondřej Perušič, today tested positive the coach of the female beach volleyball pair and husband of Markéta Nausch Sluková - Simon Nausch. Third case in Czech team. What is the most disturbing is the fact that it seems that all three cases are not related at all....

female race walker Anežka Drahotová cleared from doping and most likely will compete in Tokyo?? Finally some good news for Czechs

Well, at some point, yes, it is decision on Japanese government, but also on the other hand, Japanese government must fully cooperate with IOC on this and be ready to make "exceptions" .... people work hard to get to Olympics for 2-3 years and then they test covid positive which might even be a fake positive? And might be the only chance to get to the Olympics? .....

Can't express how much I am sorry for Ondřej Perušič ..... On the other hand, it seems that IOC rules regarding covid are also kinda flexible. ...... In my opinion, they should make difference for ppl with and without vaccine as vaccinated ppl have much higher posibility to have fake positive test. He is vaccinated so he is surely gonna be tested every day. At least he can train outdoor even though it is without his partner. But they know each other well. I suppose the COC will do their best to make IOC allow Ondřej play if his negative in several consecutive days or postpone the game. My opinion? If you are vaccinated, your tests comes positive and later 3 or 4 consecutive days negative, you should be released from the quarantine...... 3 or 4 consecutive days negative should be enough proof of not being infectious or generally being negative......

There should be also 1 positive case of one athlete outside the village. Any info about that??

Yeah, this we already know. Let's wait whether IOC releases more info about who got tested positive..

Just read about it ...... Has anyone got any intel at least which country or which sport?

NOC just announced that one team member tested positive on covid 19 right after arrival. Was mentioned not athlete but one of the team staff, for now, not mentioned neither name nor position ...

Andrew Bouchart suspended by British Athletic Association for faking PCR tests .... There we go .... How far this will go .... ? P.S. one of the British dark horses as he was 6th in Rio in 5.000m run.

Cool. That's some relieving news ..... Probably OC is waiting for more further steps and important decisions after they see the result from Tokyo ...

Well, I am hoping it won't be postponed. But I am really surprised they haven't released any tix ..... About bubble, there is no doubt about, just like in Japan ..... But do you have any intel about spectators? Do you think at least domestic fans will be allowed?

Well, I have already been working with the scenario that Beijing 2022 will be postponed till 2023. My contacts from OC have not replied yet but volunteer page no available, tickets not released yet..... I am afraid they have already been working on this scenario..... So this NHL decision might be pointless if this counts for 2023...

Well, that's understandable. I just truly hope no politics or unfair behaviour will influence the covid tests in order to keep someone out of competition.....

Yeah, tell me about that. I was thinking whether somebody can boycott some athletes by providing fake document about their covid test positive?

Athletes that could not fight for a medal due to positive COVID-19 test Discussion Thread about athletes as a big medal contestants who were supposed to fight for one of the medal and could not due getting COVID-19 test positive. It could be tested positive or false positive test and unfortunately we may expect some political involvement in the positive/negative covid tests.

Well, final list will be known once players stop withdrawing ??

Zuzana Hejnová - 400 m Hurdles is out ..... She was trying to get the Achilles ready but she just said on her social media that is unable to compete and she gave up the Olympics with thoughts to get ready for Paris 2024.

Prosím Tě, kde bereš všechen ten čas dělat tyto statistiky, rozpisy a vše okolo? Já bych asi musel odejít z práce, abych toto všechno stíhal :-D

Yep, I think something similar like that happened in Rio. I am sure, that Lucie Hradecká was supposed to participate on in doubles and later was also playing in singles where she lost in 1st round to Wozniacki .....

Yes, after Roger's withdrawal, next in the line is Andrej Martin. Let's see what Slovakian federation says. Wish it works for him ....
