Biathletes skate above the Olympic rings during practice at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022, in Zhangjiakou, China. BEIJING — Not enough food. Inedible meals. No training equipment. Some Olympic athletes unlucky enough to test positive for the coronavirus at the Beijing Olympics feel their quarantine conditions are making a bad situation much worse.

“My stomach hurts, I’m very pale and I have huge black circles around my eyes. I want all this to end. I cry every day. I’m very tired,” Russian biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova posted on Instagram from one of Beijing’s so-called quarantine hotels.Vasnetsova posted a picture Thursday of what she said was “breakfast, lunch and dinner for five days already” — a tray with food including plain pasta, an orange sauce, charred meat on a bone, a few potatoes and no greens.

She said she mostly survived on a few pieces of pasta because it was “impossible” to eat the rest, “but today I ate all the fat they serve instead of meat because I was very hungry.” She added she lost a lot of weight and “my bones are already sticking out.”The quarantine hotels are increasingly the target of criticism from athletes and their teams, who are lobbying organizers for improvements.

At least they are lucky the games are not held in America or England... They would have had a lot more serious things to worry about it....

That's not quarantine conditions. That shitty hospitality and shitty care for the ill.
