“She is fine, she is symptom-free”, said Florian Porzig, team doctor of the German Ski Association (DSV). Althaus had recently won silver on the normal hill at the Winter Games in Beijing and was then disqualified in the mixed competition because of an allegedly non-compliant suit. The DSV team was then eliminated.
“It’s a shame I have to take a break, I’m in very good shape”said Althaus, who received the positive test result earlier in the week: “I’m pinning all my hopes on returning to RawAir in Norway.” The competition series begins in early March.
