Positive coronatest: Wellinger threatens Olympia
Ski jump Olympic champion Andreas Bellinger threatens for a positive corporate test for the winter games in Beijing. As the German Ski Association (DSV) announced, the 26-year-old was positive during the journey to the World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt at an onboard test and went to quarantine immediately on Friday. The rest of the German team was not affected.
What should I say? The knee is better again, I was medically released and could jump. And then the shit Corona test in between, said Bellinger, who, after a work on the operated knee on Saturday, comes to one of the remaining Olympia starting places Wanted to fight, I can not do that now, and that’s bitter. I’m fine, I do not notice anything, but the CT value was just about the border.
Bellinger, who last missing in Zakopane, should have started the qualification on Friday. After jumping on Saturday (16.15 o’clock / ARD and Eurosport), National coach Stefan Forgather wants to give his last two Beijing places, but Bellinger, Severin Friend, Pius Paste and Constantin Schmidt questioned. Already, Karl Geiger, Markus Eisenbichler and Stephan Late are already set.
That with And is very bitter, we would have used him very well here. But the situation is difficult worldwide, said Forgather in the ARD. To the impact on the Olympic nomination, he said, I do not want to talk about Beijing yet.
