I don't care who you are - the minute you find out you have Covid, you have to be responsible.

Not to mention, he has had asthma and no matter how in shape someone is, that is a HUGE risk factor.

I'm sorry, but I'm very mad at him right now for letting his ego get in the way of his and and everyone else's health

Give me a break. Everyone competing at the Olympics would want to continue if they came down with covid. Understandably. These aren't people at risk from covid.

Sure they would want to. But they shouldn’t

And while being fit helps, being asthmatic is a risk factor and should not be ignored just because he’s an athlete.

It’d still many times more deadly than a cold. Facts.

Not many times more deadly when you include influenza and pneumonia.

But these are young healthy fit adults. A bit of a virus isn't really a big deal and they aren't going to skip the biggest competition of their lives for the sniffles or a sore throat or a headache.

I'm sure the Olympic Village is a breeding ground for all kinds of viruses. The fact that you're so riled up that it's Covid is crazy. So if he had just a rhinovirus you wouldn't be butt hurt?

This is the most low-class expression.

Femke Bol looked sick too. She was just not herself. She ran a really slow time.

SYDNEY!!! that was unreal. We might legit see a sub-50 from her eventually. Solid race by Cockrell for the silver.

Bol looked gassed. Wonder if the anchor for the mixed relay took it out of her.

I would be interested to see if Syd tries the flat 400 at some point. Would dearly love to see Marita Koch’s WR go down in flames. No records from East Germany should still be on the books, given what we know definitively about their state-sponsored doping in the 80s.

per NBC

So he won the 100 with Covid. Amazing

+1
Still amazing to me. Ran the 200m and came in 3rd with Covid. I couldn't even get out of bed. And he has asthma?

Athletes are amazing.

Apparently the Olympic protocol is that athletes/countries can make their own decisions about whether to compete with Covid. Just like they presumably could make that call with any other viral illness.

So he infected all the runners knowing he had it. Lock this clown up!

what do you mean? he didn't know he had it at the 100m. it is an outdoor sport and he has been wearing a mask. I am sure he is not the only one at the olympics with covid.

100% this. Why did they even test him?
