American pole vaulter Sam Kendricks is out of the Olympics after testing positive for Covid-19

From CNN Weather’s Taylor Ward and Gene Norman

Tokyo is experiencing a hot and humid first week of the Olympics, but the high temperatures are not unusual for Japan's capital in mid-summer. Compounding the heat is the usual high humidity. Humidity values have ranged from 66% to 84%, making it feel much hotter, and limiting the body’s ability to cool down through sweat and evaporation.

That's a rough night

Imagine training for something your entire life and at the competition you test positive for a virus with a 99.8% recovery rate and are forced to withdraw

Is the right now going to call him a quitter or is it just the women then will call quitters

Such bullsh*t. I feel so bad for these athletes.

He didn’t drop out. He was forced out because of protocols. He’s also since tested negative while in isolation.

Where’s Piers?

So why aren’t athletes who drop out of the Olympics because they test positive for COVID being criticized? Shouldn’t they match on, tough it out?

😰🇺🇸

More like forced out.

Did he drop out or was he removed ?

But he had the vaccine that was gonna prevent this...

The games should never have happened

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

If he’s been vaccinated I feel bad for him if he hasn’t I don’t

hen_ease your chance to step up for the usa!

Seems like the covid bubbles are not working.

When the story doesn’t mention whether he was vaccinated we can assume he wasn’t. Idiot.

Trump I'm sure is calling these people losers.

He should have been more careful

Damn you Covid! Damn you straight to hell. 😫

I am ANNOYINGLY safe and paranoid about covid, but if he’s competing outdoors and wears an N-95 mask, why would he have to drop out

Japan should have required all athletes be vaccinated before entering the country…

Waiting to hear from Texas Attorney General.

Such a lie! He didn’t drop out. They made him even though he’s not symptomatic.

Sad

This guy would have competed with COVID and one leg but Simone drops out to have a “me day”.

Well, crap... Just crap.
