[quote=Anonymous]I think many of the posters on here would need smelling salts if they had any idea what kind of stress these athletes have already put themselves through to make it this far, often from a very young age. The kind of fluid exposure in the sport you don’t even think (like wrestling) happens, happens. Many runners have run on stress fractures, bleeding feet, pain.. through pneumonia of the non COVID type… all kinds of things. That’s how they’ve made it this far. They KNOW the risks, because they’ve done it already, many of them probably with COVID already.

These are high level athletes that have accepted the risks of going to this competition. They’ve worked their whole lives for it, and the communities are not that huge that they don’t know each other. Of course they hugged. And of course they’re going home to isolate because they would have anyway after being in the environment they’ve been in for weeks. COVID, norovirus, campylobacter, e-coli, STIs - they know the risks. They may be “jocks” but these are smart, driven people.  [/quote]
