Olympic athletes are exposing the disturbing measures China is taking in an attempt to hold a “COVID-free” Olympics.
According to the UK Daily Mail, dozens of athletes said they had experienced inhumane conditions while in isolation due to positive COVID-19 tests.
Russian biathlete Valeria Vasnetsova said she was served an extremely small and unappealing meal three times a day for five days while she was in isolation. By the end, she said her “bones [were] sticking out,” the Daily Mail reported.
Vasnetsova posted a picture of the unsavory meal she was provided to Instagram.
Is China using quarantines to rig the Olympics?
A Russian athlete, Valeria Vasnetsova, has blown the whistle.
She says foreign athletes who test positive for covid are being starved, so they can’t compete even if they recover. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/tM79dQZEID

Polish speed skater Natalia Maliszewska had a similarly terrible experience. She said she was repeatedly moved into and out of isolation due to conflicting results from the unreliable COVID-19 tests being used in China.
One particular night was burned into her memory. She was woken up in the middle of the night and told she would be able to return to the Olympic Village, but officials then reversed their decision and sent her back to isolation.
“I was sitting in the ambulance,” Maliszewska told the Daily Mail. “It was 3am. I was crying like crazy because I didn’t know what was going on. I did not feel safe at all.”
Finland men’s hockey head coach Jukka Jalonen told Yahoo! Sports that one of his players, Marko Anttila, remained in isolation on Sunday despite the fact that 18 days had passed since his positive test.

HERE ARE THE RULES ATHLETES HAVE TO FOLLOW IN THE BEIJING WINTER OLYMPICS:
As of Sunday, over 350 Olympic participants had tested positive for COVID-19 since arriving in Beijing, Yahoo reported. This includes athletes, journalists and other Olympic staff members.
Upon receiving a positive test, participants must go to special hotels to isolate themselves. They cannot leave until they have no symptoms and have received two negative PCR tests at least 24 hours apart.
In addition to the stringent quarantine rules, many athletes have said the restrictions are not even as clear as they sound. Just like Maliszewska, Belgian skeleton athlete Kim Meylemans was told she could leave isolation only to be put back in quarantine once again.
According to a separate Yahoo! Sports article, Meylemans tested positive for COVID-19 last week. During her 80 hours of isolation, she tested negative multiple times, seemingly proving the first test was a false positive result.
On Wednesday, officials told her she was allowed to leave and return to the Olympic Village. However, when she got into an emergency vehicle expecting to be taken there, she was instead transported to a separate isolation facility.
Berlin Olympics v.2022.0
The IOCC is a puppet of the CCP.
WHO the F cares?
NBC refused to send their reporters to China. NHL backed out. So they were warned.
Just watched Chinese-American (and clearly asymptomatic) skater Vincent Zhou’s video saying good-bye.
He tested positive and off he goes. Won’t get to skate. :(
That’s disgusting.
Oh, China can be trusted. They’re just like our government.
I bet we hear all sorts of terrible stories after the athletes get home.
How do they know officials are being truthful about test results?
I haven’t been watching the Olympics, but in other years I would love watching the ceremony and sportsmanship (and the strange sports).
Is any of that present this year... or is it just the Chicoms seeing how far they can push the rest of the world into obedience?
All it would have taken for this whole charade to fall, to damage the guilded image of the Chinese communist party, would be for the US to have withheld their athletes. Other countries would have followed, but few would have had the courage to lead if not for the US. And we blew it, big time. Pretending that withholding just diplomatic envoys (who are basically on a junket anyway attending cocktail parties and watching sporting events) was stupid, and the Chicoms even brushed that off with a “we didn’t want them here anyway.”
one big exception!
Aussie girl goes to Beijing; test positive; other athletes immediately thrown into horrible quarantine facilities. the Aussie should be sent home, but China changes the rules and lets her participate; she and her partner win:
6 Feb: The West Australian: Winter Olympics: Australian curlers to leave Games due to COVID-19
by Melissa Woods, AAP
Australia’s curlers will fly home to Australia on Sunday, cutting short their maiden Winter Olympics campaign after Tahli Gill tested positive to COVID-19...
“The Australian Olympic Committee has made the decision to organise for Tahli and Dean and Peter the team manager to return to Australia,” said Lipshut.
“Tahli has registered a number of positive COVID tests as well as negative and has been managed through the close contact program over the last couple of days.
“That’s been something that they’ve had to contend with as well as participating.
“She has been free to participate up until this point but with the most recent test there was a chance she would be moved to an isolation hotel and with two games left we’ve asked Tahli and the choice is to faciltate her return home.”...
Gill has been showing no symptoms and Lipshut said medical advice was that it was at the end of the infection cycle, which meant she was free to board a flight later Sunday and would be permitted through customs in Australia...

by Sam Goodwin; with agencies
Aussie curlers Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt were at the centre of extraordinary drama at the Winter Olympics on Sunday when Gill tested positive for Covid-19 but was allowed to compete.
Hours after announcing they were leaving the Winter Olympics early due to Gill’s positive test, the mixed doubles team claimed two historic victories.
The Australians were headed for Beijing airport on Sunday morning after the AOC initially announced that they weren’t able to play in their final two round robin games.
However an extraordinary backflip from officials allowed them to compete and they rushed back with justb minutes to spare...

7 Feb: 7News Australia: Australian curlers Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt end Winter Olympics on a high with ‘upset of the tournament’
by Melissa Woods
Hours after announcing they were leaving the Winter Olympics early due to Tahli Gill’s positive COVID-19 test, Australia’s mixed doubles curlers shocked the defending champions.
Gill and partner Dean Hewitt earned Australian curling’s maiden win by beating Switzerland 9-6 on Sunday, the victory coming after seven straight losses.
Not satisfied with that the pair then won again later in the day, beating PyeongChang 2018 gold medallists Canada 10-8 - as you can watch in the video above...

very little MSM coverage of the double standards, and none draw any comparison to Djokovic’s treatment in Australia
- invited to Australia’s Tennis Open; has valid visa; has recovered from covid; has medical exemption; is negative covid. gets tossed into quarantine twice, gets deported as a potential inciter to anti-vaxxers.
Sure they can be trusted—after they sent the virus far and wide 2 years ago and are doing it again :(
and every country sent its athletes there in dutiful obedience to China.
Too late now. China is just giving everyone the finger and daring them to do something about it.
Keep an eye on Taiwan. What better way to hold the world hostage; while you invade a country, than to have all their athletes and staff sitting in the Olympic village with no way out.
Finland could beat the Chinese hockey team even if they only ran 3 lines of f and 2 of d.
Excellent point. No sane person would criticize the ChiComs While in China. I bet when they get home you’ll see it follows stories, pictures, etc. Of what the Chinese did during the Olympics.
In a Sane World, we would have never given the Olympics to a communist regime. And even if the communist sympathizers at the IOC did, countries like the United States, Canada, United Kingdom or any other democracy would boycott the games and refused to send athletes. Let it be the Chinese, North Koreans maybe Russians competing amongst themselves.
With stories like this, every Olympic event should have an*at the store results indicating is not to be trusted due to the Covid rigging the Chinese are doing.
Cheap plastic imitation of the Olympics from the cheap plastic Capital.
