Beach volleyball player Ondřej Perušič and his partner David Schweiner presented themselves for the first time at the Olympics on Thursday in an empty stadium without fans. Perusic was thus without a veil or respirator after a long time. He was still in isolation this week due to the fact that he had a positive test for covid-19 after his arrival in Tokyo. He left the isolation after ten days despite having a positive test, but with a small amount of virus.

Perusic after the first match in Tokyo List News said he played well. Even because it wasn’t that hot.

“It simply came to our notice then. It certainly helped that at least in isolation I tried to be in contact with the balloon as much as possible, although of course it was quite limited. It certainly helped us a lot that the sun went down and that the temperature conditions were bearable, “said Ondřej Perušič after the match at the Tokyo Olympics.

Perusic lives in a new hotel, lost weight in isolation
Ondřej Perušič said goodbye to a room for isolation and moved to a new hotel. It also returns to the normal way of testing. Unlike other Czech athletes, he is not in the Olympic Village and uses individual transport. During the days when he was cut off from the rest of the world, he lost three kilograms.

“I passed the last PCR test yesterday. As of today, I’m driving in test mode like everyone else. That means I submit a saliva sample daily for antigen testing. The regime is different in that we are all led as close contacts. I’m at a hotel outside the village. We must not be in the same hotel, it is harder to arrange and organize training. We have to use individual transport for training, “Perušič describes the rules he must follow after leaving isolation.

Perusic’s isolation was logically felt by his partner David Schweiner. After the match, he admitted that he obviously had better conditions than his teammate. “I would say that the separation was not so bad, because unlike Ondra, I could train. There was a lack of contact with the balloon and a lack of training with Ondřej. I hope we can make it tomorrow, “said Schweiner.
