“Members of Australia’s track and field team at the Tokyo Olympic Games are isolating in their rooms as a precautionary measure following news of a COVID positive finding with a member of the US track and field Team,” an Australian Olympic Committee spokesperson said.“Members of the Australian track and field team are now undergoing testing procedures in line with Australian Olympic Team protocols.
The charismatic 28-year-old, a bronze medallist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, is now in isolation, the USOPC added. “Today in Tokyo officials informed Sam that his daily test for Cov 19 was positive,” Scott Kendricks wrote. “So he is out of the competition. He feels fine and has no symptoms. Love you son. See you soon.”The number of Covid-19 cases linked to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has risen to 198, according to Tokyo 2020 organisers today.
