The corona vortex around Russia’s ice hockey women at the Olympic Games in Beijing never ends. According to the world association IIHF, another player was infected with the virus. Explosive: Attacker Polina Bolgareva received her positive test result after the game against Canada, in which both teams wore masks due to corona concerns.
“It’s a difficult situation,” said Barbariko, “we’re in quarantine from day one. Since we had positive test results, the girls have been practically locked in their rooms. We can’t go out. We’re only allowed outside for games and training. “
Bolgareva is already the eighth corona case in the Russian team. The Canadians initially refused to play on Monday because the results of the Russian PCR tests were not yet available. After a long back and forth, both teams ran up an hour late with mouth and nose protection under the ice hockey grid.
Before the last third, the Russians took off their masks, the Canadians, who won 6-1, wore the protection until the end of the game. On Tuesday, the Finns also played against the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team in masks and won 5-0.
