But not every athlete is having a positive Tokyo experience.
Urm nah.. we've been stuck inside for 6days now with 11 negative test and all double vaccinated. Shocked we're not allowed back into a Covid safe environment . My Olympic experience will be spent alone, bar a few socially distanced hours a day. https://t.co/jgqZnYhH0u β Zak seddon (@Zakeroo12) July 22, 2021
