COVID-19 threatens olympics as multiple athletes test positive

Three years after the Tokyo Olympics, COVID-19 is once again affecting the Games in Paris. Athletes have tested positive, including Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, who withdrew from the 1500m freestyle to conserve energy for a relay. British swimmer Adam Peaty also tested positive but aims to recover for upcoming relays. Several Australian water polo players tested positive but continued to play, defeating Serbia. Despite the lack of strict COVID-19 protocols in Paris, teams are being cautious with hygiene and isolation measures.
