This means that the number of positive tests since recording began on July 1st has risen to a total of 123, as the organizing committee announced in the daily report published on Saturday. Among those affected is rower Finn Florijn from the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the French Olympic Committee has quarantined coaches from the men's basketball team. Finn Florijn, the 21-year-old son of 1988 Olympic champion Ronald Florijn, wanted to attack again on Saturday in the two-man repechage race after fourth place on Friday. “I was hoping to improve. But now it’s over in a flash, I can’t say much more about it,” explained Florijn, who was the fourth member of the Dutch Olympic team to test positive for Covid-19. At the beginning of the week, the Dutch announced that, in addition to an employee of the rowing team, the taekwondo athlete Reshmie Oogink was corona-positive. Skateboarder Candy Jacobs announced her positive test herself. Caution comes first The French Olympic Committee said Saturday that staff members of the men's basketball team had been quarantined because a passenger on board the flight to Japan tested positive for the coronavirus. It was not announced how many employees were affected as possible contact cases. The employees have been isolated since July 19 and have not been able to work with the athletes. All tests so far have been negative. The German Olympic team also announced its first corona case on Friday evening. The cyclist Simon Geschke tested positive and therefore missed the road race on Saturday.
