Other Norwegian athletes and part of the Swedish and Danish teams also arrived on the flight.
Two The background person for the Norwegian Olympic team has given a positive coronavirus test in Beijing, the Norwegian Olympic organization Olympiatoppe said on Tuesday. The infected people were on a full flight from Norway, which arrived in Beijing on Tuesday.
According to the release, people who have passed the positive test have avoided close contact with Norwegian athletes. They will be tested a second time to confirm the result.
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation According to NRK the flight featured several different sports from Norwegian athletes, including the cross-country star name Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. Also, a large portion of the Danish Olympic team flew to China on the same flight, as did a handful of Swedish athletes.
Olympiatoppen winter sports director Helge Bartnes told NRK that coronary artery infection had been reported on at least one flight.
“This is a very difficult situation,” Bartnes said.
Before the start of the Olympics, Norway suffered from corona worries, especially in cross-country skiing, when Anne Kjersti Kalvå, Heidi Weng and Simen Hegstad Krüger gave positive coronavirus tests last week. Last weekend Ragnhild The Hague was named to the Winter Games to replace Kalvån.
Korona also tortures the Norwegian men’s ski jumping team, above all Johann Andre Forfangia and Daniel-Andre Tandea. Head coach Alexander Stöcklin according to the duo will not have time for the normal hill of the Olympics, where the qualifiers will be jumped on Saturday and the main event on Sunday.
Forfang and Tande were infected with corona in January after the Zakopane World Cup. Forfang’s corona test looked negative on Tuesday, but Tanden didn’t.
Norway participates in the men’s normal hill jumper trio Halvor Egner Granerud, Marius Lindvik and Robert Johansson, but in less than two weeks, a fourth jumper would need to go to the competing team hill.
Also The Austrian Olympic Committee informed on Tuesday’s nasty corona news. The top name of this season’s World Jump Women’s Cup Marita Kramer will have to miss the Olympics in Beijing due to positive corona tests.
Kramer, 20, gave a positive test result last weekend at the Willingen World Cup in Germany. The Austrian Olympic Committee said on its website that Kramer’s test in Salzburg still looked positive.
Kramer takes his place on the Austrian team Lisa Eder. Kramer took gold in the women’s team hill and bronze in the mixed team competition at the World Championships in Oberstdorf last winter.
The women will be jumping off the Olympic Hill Olympic medals in China as early as Saturday. The hill jump mixed team competition is next Monday.
Swedish the men’s hockey team survived Tuesday with no new corona cases. On Monday, Korona also hit Tre Kronor when the defenders Emil Djuse and Erik Gustafsson received positive test results.
The duo were replaced by KHL in Nizhni Novgorod Theodor Lennström and the Jokers Philip Holmilla. Swedish puckers will fly to Beijing on Wednesday.
“We keep our thumbs up. It’s incredibly wonderful to have a team in the Olympic Village because then we know we’re in the tournament, ”head coach Johan Garpenlöv said Tuesday.
