At the opening of the Alpine World Cup in Sölden, positive cases of coronavirus were known in two teams on Friday, a day before the first race. The tests were in Sölden, but already carried out on Thursday and therefore before the official arrival, explained the FIS race director Markus Waldner.
According to the coach of the Swedish team, Lars Melin, one of those affected is coach Ola Masdal. Responsible authorities intervened and those affected were isolated, Waldner said. “The bad luck was that the tests were not carried out before arrival, but directly on site.” However, they would not affect either the career or the career because people had not yet accepted accreditation. “With that they weren’t in the bladder either and the case is not part of the event,” Waldner specified.
Negative test with the second caregiver
The second supervisor of the Swedish team who had the most positive contact with the coach tested negative. The APA learned of this Friday night from a reporter for the SVT television station. A spokesperson for the Swedish Association later confirmed the information. The athletes are fit and ready for the race, he said.
