Dozens of athletes thrown into virus isolation at China's zero-Covid Winter Olympics have laid bare their misery - describing 'crying like crazy' after being hauled out of bed at 3am before being fed miserable food in rooms too small for exercise.
Beijing is attempting to hold a virus-free event in the midst of a pandemic, cutting off competitors and their teams in a bubble where tests must be taken every day, with anyone who tests positive dragged off to isolation.
But conditions in isolation are reportedly dire. Valeria Vasnetsova, a Russian biathlete, claims she was served the same inedible meal three times a day for five days in a row - and that it left her so emaciated that her 'bones [were] sticking out'.
Head of German team Dirk Schimmelpfennig also blasted 'unacceptable' conditions for his athletes, saying isolation rooms are too small, not hygienic enough, the food is poor and PCR tests that athletes must take to free themselves are not being given.
Natalia Maliszewska, a Polish speed skater, described being repeatedly moved into and out of quarantine over successive days due to conflicting Covid test results, an experience she described as a 'trauma' that left her 'crying and crying'.

Is this for real?
Eliminate the competition.
It’s what communists do.................
If only Trump hadn’t been mean to ChiComs ... /s
They should have stayed home. I guess people can see what our lives will be under current NWO regimes.
“China is awful and they just don’t care.”
They don’t have to care. They have our money, our jobs, and have built a huge military. The Chinese do as they please and the rest of the world can p!ss off.
“They should have stayed home. I guess people can see what our lives will be under current NWO regimes.”
People won’t even know if their TV doesn’t tell them.
Even the old Soviets of the Evil Empire were usually on their best behavior when foreigners came to compete in sports events. They tried to have good PR when it suited them. China doesn’t give a hoot.
Wonder if any of the woke crowd who are participating will change their views on Communism
Meanwhile AOC blasts capitalism.
The Covid tests are liking playing the roulette wheel—total game of chance.
“Science”—bwahahahahahaha.
I just heard a Chinese Canadian being interviewed at the truck convoy protest. He said that lots of his Chinese community in Canada back the truckers, because so much that has happened has reminded them of the treatment of the people in China. He described the onerous monthly testing, and removal to isolation of anyone who tests positive.
Were the athletes informed ahead of time of what would happen if they tested positive?
“They should have stayed home. I guess people can see what our lives will be under current NWO regimes.”
Absolutely. this was foreseeable.
Imagine training exclusively for 4 or more years of your life and being told by some masked CCP drone - sorry, you can’t compete.
Well, this is the Daily Mail. Need confirmation.
It’s not how they test, but who does the testing
Forget it, Jake, it’s China.
This is among the stupidest Olympics ever, up there with 1936. FU IOC!
Isn't China widely recognized as "the land of the free and the home of the brave?" No? Oh ok, I guess I mixed it up with a different country. Never mind.
Even the Nazis were in 1936, got rid of all of the Anti-Semitic signs, and their Olympic Village was top-notch.
“Aww, I see you are Number One in the world in your sport, but our Chinese athlete is number two. So sorry to report that you have tested positive for COVID-19 and cannot compete today.”
