Johan de Wit has contracted corona and is now staying in an isolation hotel in Beijing. As a result, the 42-year-old coach of the Japanese skating team misses the start of the Olympic Games.
Johan de Wit has been the coach of the Japanese team for seven years now. Now he has to follow his skaters via TV from his hotel in Beijing. The Alkmaarder may be released from isolation again if he has been tested negative twice.
The opening of the Olympic Games is tomorrow and Saturday, the first skating competitions start in the Chinese capital.
