Beijing (AP) – After a long back and forth because of a positive corona test at Gill, the Australians Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt have now received permission to start at their last games in the Olympic curling competition.
Shortly after the responsible medical committee had given permission, the mixed doubles team played against Switzerland and celebrated their first victory after seven defeats with a 9:6. The last opponent in Beijing in the evening is the team from Canada.
The National Olympic Committee of Australia had initially said that the duo should leave as soon as possible so that Gill, who was infected with the virus before the Olympics, can leave the quarantine hotel she had to go to. However, the medical commission informed that her CT value within an acceptable range after a PCR test. The value serves as an indication of the possible risk of infection by a person.
