Krejci positive for COVID upon arrival in Beijing

Czech star David Krejci tested positive for COVID-19 upon his arrival in Beijing and missed the Czech men’s hockey team’s first practice.

Head coach Filip Pesan said Krejci was still at the athletes’ village awaiting the results of further COVID-19 tests. Pesan says he is optimistic about Krejci’s participation in Friday’s training as a similar situation happened with another player.

“He will take further tests tonight and tomorrow morning. I firmly believe he will join training tomorrow,” said Pesan.

The 35-year-old former Boston Bruins center is expected to be one of the tournament’s best players in the absence of the NHL players. Krejci won the Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011 and had 854 points in 1,118 regular season and playoff games.

Krejci averaged nearly a point per game last season with the Bruins. He left the NHL for the Czech Extraliga so friends and family could watch him play before he retired.

President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Viktor Maigurov said that the maximum quota for Russian athletes if admitted to the Olympics will be the participation of two men and two women.

The Olympic meeting was held in Moscow on Wednesday. The Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev said that the Russian side will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on December 10 due to the removal of biathletes from international competitions. Maigurov later said that the Russians have a chance to qualify for the 2026 Olympic Games in Italy.

— Do you assume that if admitted, no more than one woman and one man will be admitted?

— We are ready to consider any options. We don’t count the quantity in any case. No more than 2+2 for sure,” Maigurov told a Match TV correspondent.

Russian biathletes were suspended from international competitions in 2022.

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games will be held from February 6 to 22 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
