    The British Eurosport co commentator cursed him. She was saying she expected to see rowers pull out due to Covid in later rounds.
  2. Orangehair43
    I’m glad GB only sent 22 athletes. This feels like it will be a Covid super spreading incident.
  3. Orangehair43
    Thornley the only boat today who looks she might be be able to contend for medal on a good day. Rowing is one of the sports looking ahead already to 2024 and hoping funding doesn’t get before hand.

    Do we know if any of the three infected were sitting near each other. At least so far all three are separate sports. The flight landed several days ago so most infected on it should test positive by Saturday if infected on it.

    While compulsory would have been good there was no way some NOC’s could have got that past anti vaccination board members - countries would have withdrawn. the Second would have brought the Japanese Government down - the public anger at people not being tested would be something they could not survive.

    I mean you infected for a day or two but it very quickly clears up and you return to negative testing. It’s a lot more common if you are partly or fully vaccinated.
  7. Orangehair43
    False positives are pretty rare. Being only middy infected is more common than the test being wrong.

    And most of the contenders from Australia and New Zealand have only competed domestically since last year as well. While in some events (such as Swimming) domestic times can be useful for judging form in other events it’s a lot harder to comapare without direct competition.

    I can see the IOC pulling everyone on the flight out of competition.
  10. Orangehair43
    Through even then they will be cases where Human error allowed people to catch Covid. Some will follow the rules and catch it but others will have broken rules and caught it or spread it to others that way.
  11. Orangehair43
    GB is only planning a maximum of 30 and it might be even less as so many are reluctant.
  12. Orangehair43
    Surely the IOC must have known about this for a few days being the ceremony is in less than 48 hours.
  13. Orangehair43
    I think France is the exemption this time around as it still had the old deal and I don’t think did a deal with Europoort like the BBC did to help preserve 2022 and onwards. From 2022 France and UK come under the new deal.
  14. Orangehair43
    She was obviously waiting to rule out if she was a victim of a false positive.
  15. Orangehair43
    Not sure where he is at the moment - I would have thought he be in the village by now but it’s not been confirmed. Or how long they had been in Japan.
  16. Orangehair43
    Me too. Four days before is pushing it to even fully get over the jet lag. I wonder how many are not there yet? It seems from the UK about half haven’t yet left the UK which is a risk with how high the UK Covid cases are.
  17. Orangehair43
    The Dutch need to be a lot better at the defence or they will suffer against better teams.
  18. Orangehair43
    Probably not. The remaining two will just compete in the individual event only I suspect. The team event doesn’t need a specific number of countries.
  19. Orangehair43
    An hundred years on from 1936 would be something I am not sure the IOC will go for.
  20. Orangehair43
    Can’t see many more goals from the Dutch. They easing off.
  21. Orangehair43
    I know their saying funding in the Uk not going to be affected by performance but If GB do badly it will have an effect. Every other country will be dealing with the same Covid issues (there is only going to be a few medals at best ruled out due to Covid caught in the Uk).
  22. Orangehair43
    Sad news. Through she was quite late to be going to Japan with the Skeet being on Monday. Suprised they was no pre camp for Shooters - plenty of athletes not competing till later are already in Japan if not yet in the village. With how high the cases are in the UK they will be quite a few more from the UK testing positive either before departure or shortly after arrival in Japan I sadly suspect. She was tested several times and all were positive so no false test issues.
  23. Orangehair43
    79 Olympic related cases. Not sure all of them are in the village. Some of will be people testing positive at pre games camps and also some Olympic related staff who are not in the village.
  24. Orangehair43
    And with a awful hissing noise.
  25. Orangehair43
    This Olympics is make or break for the future of Athletics. If the Super Spikes become unpopular then it will be a lot harder to prevent the post Bolt popularity drop from spiralling out of co)549.
