The closer to the Olympics in Beijing, the more fears among athletes about coronavirus infection are. A dozen or so days ago, as many as four Norwegian jumpers – Johann Andre Forfang, and Fredrik Villumstad – were in isolation. Lindvik is already in Beijing, while Tande tested negative and will compete on the large hill in Zhangjiakou. Forfang, the Norwegian champion, will be missing for sure on the normal hill.
Bad news for Forfang. Pyongyang silver medalist still positive for coronavirus
The Norwegian daily “Dagbladet” reported that it had received several negative test results on and was close to departing to. On Wednesday the Norwegian again had a positive test result, so he will definitely not compete in the competition on the normal hill and is still not sure of competing in the competition on the large hill. “Wednesday’s test was just below the value I should have,” Forfang told Dagbladet.

“It was so close to a negative test it’s ridiculous. But I realize this can change a lot. You can test positive for six weeks after you fell ill. For training on of the large hill there are still a few days left “- he added. To enter, you must obtain four negative test results in a row, the first of which must be five days prior to departure. “I don’t know how to help you, but I feel sorry for you, boy” – Forfang wrote on Instagram, posting a video from 2012, when he was still competing in.
Johann Andre Forfang won the silver medal at the Winter Olympics on the normal hill. The Norwegian’s results this season are unsatisfactory – after 15 competitions this season, he is in 24th place with 182 points and he is six points behind.
