However, the organizers have waived compulsory vaccination. However, those who are not vaccinated must go into a 21-day quarantine after arriving in China. Due to the long duration and the associated loss of time, this should be enough incentive not to want to take part as an unvaccinated person. The Swiss snowboardingOlympic champion Patrizia Kummer, for example, has been in her three-week quarantine since mid-January.
She is then allowed to go to the Olympic village, but like everyone else present, she has to write a health diary 14 days before departure. The daily body temperature is recorded and the general state of health is recorded by means of a questionnaire. Before departure, two negative PCR tests are necessary as before the outward flight.
Hugs in the preparation time? Difficult topic
Only then does a long time end, which should be career highlights for athletes and the entire staff – but in Beijing it will be a little different given the circumstances. If only because of the extremely difficult preparations.
“i have children I don’t even know if I’m allowed to hug her or send her to school. Should I leave home and move to the hotel so that there is no infection? This has been a very heavy burden over the past few weeks“Said combined national coach Hermann Weinbuch of the German Press Agency.
“The strain is very, very high – also for us coaches. If I don’t see my family for six weeks, it just gets a bit difficult in terms of strength“, Weinbuch described. Normally, anticipation always prevails before big events, “but now completely different things play a role, which are very stressful and also spread a queasy feeling“.
