I think they’ll have to immediately fly in a replacement. As there’s no quarantine rules, they will like need just a day to get this done. But definitely won’t be ideal. Refer to Marta Menegatti last time in Rio because of Viki Orsi Toth (for a different reason though).

Will be very interesting to see how the IOC handles Covid as there will be lots of cases even some that hit close to home. Just hope everyone ultimately gets to play. These athletes deserve it for all they have had to endure the last 18 months.

Well, apparently Taylor Crabb (USA) has also tested positive and Tri Bourne is on his way there.

We now have an update from Tri that Jake Gibb has also been asked to move out of the Olympic village because he’s deemed a close contact.
From what it seems, Nick and Tri are sharing an apartment. And Jake was too. I suppose the plan was Phil to be the 4th person but well, things happened. But Jake was notified and escorted to go to the Hilton Hotel to join with Phil. 🤦🏻♀️
Tri and Jake have only trained together once. Now Jake has to move out of the Olympics village. Their first game is tomorrow.
Phil and Nick play tonight.

And if Tri and Jake practiced, wouldn’t Tri then as a result be close contact? Same with Nick? What about the spider that was in contact with Taylor who then crawled to Sorum’s room then Qatar’s room?

But they only took him. Phil “welcomed” Jake on IG but they’re not allowed to leave their rooms.

I haven’t watched the Norway match, what’s going on with them? Is Anders still dealing with injury?

I haven’t watched much of them recently but from the sounds of it, teams have started serving Mol instead of Sorum and that’s been all the difference, but Sorum bump sets more often than hand set compared to Mol.

Anders was injured earlier this year and I really don’t think he’s 100% recovered. When they first rose to the top in 2018 teams tried serving Anders and got killed for it. For whatever reason we haven’t seen that dominant version of him much this year.

Yea. If you had said last year that Mols and Sorum werent going to win the gold medal, I would be shocked. But now, I'm afraid that they won't even make it to the medal rounds.
