Olympic Athletes in Terrible Conditions: ‘I’ve Been Living in Fear’

The conditions at the Beijing Olympics are almost unbearable. Reports of strict measures, testing and isolation being done has caused some, such as Polish speed skater Natalia Maliszewska to turn to social media and expose their anxiety.
“I’ve been living in fear for over a week . These mood swings, the crying that makes me breathless.” She told Reuters in an interview that she cried “like crazy” in the back of an ambulance after a 3 a.m. knock on the door of her isolation hotel room because she did not know what was happening” reports NBC News.
Belgian skeleton racer Kim Meylemans posted a video crying over facing seven days of isolation away from the Olympic Village. The Finland men’s ice hockey team accused China of not respecting human rights for one of his players Marko Antila who was not getting good food’ and was under tremendous mental stress.
Over 150 athletes and team officials have tested positive since Jan 23, making the game more about strict isolation policy than athletic performance. NBC News reports of the conditions:
Competitors are living and competing inside an Olympic bubble, or “closed loop,” and have to take Covid tests daily. If they test positive, they are taken either to an isolation facility or a hospital, depending on the severity of their symptoms, until they are discharged either through negative tests or the sign-off of a panel of medical experts.
U.S. figure skater and medal hopeful Vincent Zhou was among the latest athletes to test positive for Covid, and he was forced to withdraw from the individual event starting Tuesday.
“I have been doing everything in my power to stay free of Covid,” he said in a tearful video posted on Instagram on Monday. “I’ve isolated myself so much that the loneliness I’ve felt in the last month or two has been crushing at times.”

VIDEO: Chinese military plane comes ‘dangerously’ close to U.S. aircraft over South China Sea

The United States Army recorded and released unnerving video of a close encounter with a Chinese jet over the South China Sea. The Chinese military plane came “dangerously” close to the U.S. military aircraft in the international airspace last week, the U.S. military announced on Thursday.

The Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), the command responsible for overseeing U.S. operations in the area, said in a statement that the encounter occurred on December 21, during which a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet flew within 10 feet (3 meters) of a U.S. Air Force RC-135, a reconnaissance plane with about 30 people on board.
According to a U.S. military spokesperson, the Chinese jet came within 10 feet of the airplane’s wing, but 20 feet from its nose, causing the U.S. aircraft to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.

Finland accuses “China of not respecting human rights”. These countries knew China did not respect human rights yet they sent their athletes anyhow, so they have no one to blame but themselves! Also, they are the country that released the virus, so of course these athletes would be deliberately infected when they came into the country, it would give a distinct advantage to the Chinese athletes if all the rest are quarantined, isolated, terrorised, or poorly fed.

That any Western nation would allow their young athletes to even go into China at this time is madness.

The athletes should have never gone to Communist China but now should ALL LEAVE.

Why the hell did we send our athletes to Communist China who have no respect for human life, hate America, and are now supposedly using Covid to perhaps keep Americans from competing so the Chinese have an advantage? Cheating anyone?

This is absolutely horrible. If they do this to the Olympians there is no doubt left in my mind that the Chinese infected the world with the virus on purpose. They are not human anymore. Nuke the Forbidden City to retaliate and get these monsters off the Earth.

A year ago, the IOC should have postponed the 2022 Olympics until 2023. They could have then moved the venue to a site where infrastructure is already in place such as Park City, Torino, Vancouver ….anywhere but China or Russia. It’s unfair to these athletes who have trained for years to have put them in this unfortunate position. The fact China was allowed to host the games at all is shameful.

I would not be shedding the first tear! I would be attempting to leave that “yellow terror” country by the first available flight! Nobody I know, with the possible exception of those required to report the results of these “Games,” is watching this “propaganda” mess!

I, in some respect do not have any sympathy for these athletes, coaches, reporters, etc. They are in China. The only thing I hope this does is wake people up to the dangers of communism, marxism, socialism, etc.
I do pray for their safety. I pray that their eyes and ears will be open to the truth. And that is the truth that only God’s freedom brings.

So confusing. China is our friend according to Joe and Hunter. Apparently Russia is our friend too since we gave them the oil supply business. Don’t let Joe’s pretend “tough” foreign gesturing fool you. We have already seen that in Afghanistan. Failure after Failure by Joe and the “Best” people that he surrounds himself with.

I thought available testing (PCR) was bogus! Many, many false positives. COVID, influenza and even a head-cold will give the same result. These tests can say whatever the “doctor” desires!
