Note: This post will be sent to you with no narration. O-TON DIRK SCHIMMELPFENNIG, CHEF DE MISSION TEAM D “Since yesterday we have managed to significantly improve the conditions for the athletes. We have succeeded in doing this in close cooperation between Team D, the DOSB, the German Ski Association and above all in cooperation with the IOC and BOCOG (Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games). And we want to thank everyone that it went so quickly and that our athletes now have at least satisfactory conditions in a difficult situation in quarantine.” “The athletes got bigger rooms, have a working WiFi connection. And they have a bicycle ergometer, like Nolan, in the room. We will also upgrade that accordingly in the Nordic Combined. And then we will at least have appropriate, satisfactory conditions in an overall very difficult situation for the three athletes.”
The team boss in Beijing initially criticized the conditions in the hotel rooms of those who tested positive as unreasonable. Now the situation has probably improved.
