Eugene. Now, covid-19 has also found its way into Sweden’s World Cup squad.
Marathon runner Carolina Wikström’s coach, Christian Mondt, has tested positive at camp in Berkeley.
Very sad, but we hope he stays there, Kajsa Bergqvist says in a press release.
Just a few hours ago Kajsa Bergqvist He happily stated that the Swedish national team was in good health ahead of the World Championships in Athletics, which begins today.
But this is no longer the case. At the camp in Berkeley, where former members of the Norwegian and Danish forces have tested positive, the infection has now also affected the Swedish team.
It was coach Christian Mundt who should have felt the suspension on Thursday and then tested positive.
– Now he has been isolated and the others are fine and tested negative. So sad for Christian, says Kajsa Bergqvist, but we hope he stays there.
“Everyone is very anxious”
But it’s going to be a nervous day, especially for the skilled Monte Carolina Wikström, who shares a room with her coach at camp.
There are also medal jumps at the Berkeley camp, such as Daniel Stoll and Khedi Sania, as well as runners Andreas Kramer and Simon Peterson for the 800 metres.
Everyone is very careful and tests are done regularly. Then a lab test is necessary before you can be accepted into the World Cup Village. Kajsa Bergqvist says I’m optimistic and hope we can handle more cases.
