BEIJING : Australian curler Tahli Gill has tested positive for COVID-19, the country's Olympic committee said on Sunday, bringing an end to her and Dean Hewitt's winless mixed doubles campaign at the Winter Games in Beijing.

The 22-year-old had previously tested positive on arrival in Beijing but was cleared to compete with Hewitt after she produced two negative tests. "Rather than remain in isolation, we now have the option of returning Tahli and Dean home ... They have been absolutely magnificent in the face of difficulty."

While Gill and Hewitt did not register a victory in their debut campaign, four of their seven defeats came in closely-fought contests by a single-point margin.
