Fred's, (Used to be Barb's), Board

One positive result has been reported by the ISU of those on-site for the Worlds - they are in quarantine and appropriate measures are being taken for close contacts. Identity not being revealed.

I had a bad feeling when they didn't bring the competitors, etc. in early enough to check and double-check before the practices began. Most skaters arrived on March 20th or 21st as the organizers/ISU wouldn't pay for earlier arrival in terms of rooms, meals, etc.

Here's hoping everyone else remains safe & well!!

UPDATE: It has been confirmed by the Ministry of Sports of Belarus that Viktoriia Safonova was the athlete to test positive upon arrival at Worlds.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that all goes well, especially for our Canadian team.

A second result was reported today - the person never entered the bubble:

And now word of a third positive test

Heartbreaking news on the third positive test - it was ice dancer Simon Proulx-Sénécal who represents Armenia with Tina Garabedian. They had to withdraw from the competition; unfortunately the test turned out to be a false positive.

They will have an opportunity to compete at Nebelhorn to try to get an Olympic spot.
