Infected are doctor Vlastimil Voráček, who has already been revealed by tests at the airport in Tokyo, beach volleyball player Ondřej Perušič, coach of beach volleyball players Simon Nausch, table tennis player Pavel Širuček, beach volleyball player Markéta Nausch Sluková and cyclist Michal Schlegel. The domestic Olympic Committee is facing sharp criticism. Voracek, who was on board the special, flew unvaccinated.
“The task of the Czech Olympic Committee is to administratively and logistically ensure the participation of our team in the Games,” said Petr Hercík, who was a guest of Events and Comments and who is the executive director of Sport Invest Marketing, which represents Nausch Sluková. According to him, this is a systemic problem. His colleague, the owner of the company David Trávníček, previously described the actions of the WWTP in organizing the transport of athletes to the Olympic Games as amateurism.

Covid’s Olympic Games, this year’s sports holiday in Tokyo is christened. There may be no spectators in the auditorium due to coronavirus measures. In addition, the games are held despite the majority resentment of Japanese society.
David Svoboda mentioned the economic aspect that the organizers had to deal with. “The International Olympic Committee has had to adapt to Japanese requirements and rules,” he said.
“The Olympics have exceeded the tolerable limit. I am a long-term critic of the Olympic Games, “said Pollert. “Politics will always be involved in sports and we must protect it from politics,” Svoboda said. Even according to Kašpárková, politics definitely does not belong in sports.
