Corona confusion surrounding Dominik Windisch: first positive, then negative?

Already at the beginning of the week, Dominik Windisch had a big one SportNews -Interview expressed his concerns about a possible positive corona result . Just a few hours later, the pandemic actually caught up. Due to an unclear test result, his participation in the World Cup opener this weekend in Kontiolahti is more than questionable. First things first: Early on Tuesday morning, Windisch - like Dorothea Wierer, Lukas Hofer & Co. - set off for Milan, where a corona test was carried out at 9 a.m. The results didn't arrive until several hours later. On Wednesday morning at 10.04:45 a.m. the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) announced the official call-ups, but exactly XNUMX minutes later they withdrew them, changed them and published a squad list without the name Dominik Windisch. At this point, the members of the national team who tested negative had long since begun the cumbersome journey by plane and minibus to Finland's far southwest. Windisch wasn't there. “In any case, I have no symptoms” Dominik Windisch The official statement from the association followed on Thursday afternoon. “Dominik Windisch did not travel to Kontiolahti because his test results gave contradictory results,” said a FISI release. The speedster is now in quarantine at home. On Friday, the world champion and Olympic medalist will undergo further examinations, the results of which should arrive by the evening at the latest. A trip to the first World Cup race will probably no longer be possible, but at least Windisch finally has certainty and could - if the result is negative - tackle the second World Cup stage in Kontiolahti at the beginning of December. “I feel good health-wise and don’t feel any symptoms,” says Windisch SportNews -Demand. Above all, he wants clarity. The virus is rampant in Kontiolahti Meanwhile, Wierer, Hofer, Patrick Braunhofer, Federica Sanfilippo and Irene Lardschneider, as well as the other Azzurri Didier Bionaz, Nicole Gontier and Lisa Vittozzi, have firmly planned to start in the first races of the season. But they are not completely safe either, because corona cases have been increasing in Kontiolahti since Wednesday. The worst affected so far are the Russians, who were initially not allowed to leave their hotel rooms on Thursday after four cases alone - including former relay world champion Anton Babikov (4), an active participant. Team members from Latvia, Moldova, Romania and France were also positive for the virus. While the French did not have to be quarantined, the Finnish authorities are yet to decide how to proceed in the other cases.
