Although fully inoculated with the Pfizer Biontech vaccine against COVID-19, Olympic qualifier and sprinter Kristina Knott still tested positive for the highly contagious and lethal virus and was forced to withdraw in the last minute from the Karlstad Grand Prix in Sweden last Tuesday .
American coach Rohsaan Griffin, who attended the briefing and is with Knott in Sweden, said he could not believe the news because he and Knott had been fully jabbed before they had left for the US more than two weeks ago. Griffin said that they had foreseen this possibly happening during the course of their travels in Europe so had brought their own test kits as a precaution
For having come into contact with Knott, Cray was also forced to pull out of the men’s 400-meter hurdles. Griffin said that he fretted more about Knott’s mental state rather than her physical condition, “since she has not shown any symptoms and not lagged in her training. “It’s an answered prayer. I’ve always dreamed of being an Olympian one day,” Knott replied when asked about her accomplishment.
