Report: China Keeping Winter Olympians in ‘Unreasonable’ Quarantine Conditions
2:49
China is reportedly keeping coronavirus-positive winter Olympians in “unreasonable” quarantine conditions.
Athletes and their delegations have blasted the “quarantine hotels” that athletes are sent to following positive coronavirus test results.
“My stomach hurts, I’m very pale and I have huge black circles around my eyes. I want all this to end. I cry every day. I’m very tired,” Russian athlete Valeria Vasnetsova complained on her Instagram account.
Vasnetsova criticized the meals she received, which included “plain pasta, an orange sauce, charred meat on a bone, a few potatoes and no greens,” according to the Associated Press. She reportedly said the meal was “breakfast, lunch and dinner for five days already.”
While at the quarantine hotel, Vasnetsova did research and “concluded the athletes were getting worse food.”
According to the Associated Press:
When fetching the food left outside her door, she took a glance at the boxes left outside other rooms in her corridor, whose doors were labeled with signs to distinguish Olympians from other people working at the Games who tested positive, such as team staff.
She concluded the athletes were getting worse food, and underlined it with a picture of food served to her team doctor, who had also tested positive and was living two floors below. He had fresh fruit, a salad and prawns with broccoli.
“I honestly don’t understand, why is there this attitude to us, the athletes?!” she wrote on Instagram.
Vasnetsova will miss the Olympic Games due to her isolation.
It is unclear which athletes must go to the quarantine hotels, as some who test positive are sent there, and others are allowed to stay with their team inside the Olympic Village.
Dirk Schimmelpfennig, head of the German delegation, called the quarantine conditions “unreasonable” after three-time gold medalist Eric Frenzel tested positive.
Schimmelpfennig wanted “larger, more hygienic rooms, and more regular food deliveries so athletes who are eventually released are still fit to compete,” according to AP.
Belgian athlete Kim Meylemans escaped the quarantine hotels after posting a tearful video to social media. Meylemans reportedly quarantined alone for two weeks, where she took two PCR tests a day.

Our main goal was to get Kim to the Olympic Village in Yanqing as quickly as possible. We are therefore very pleased that this has now been successfully achieved.” said “We understand that the COVID measures are necessary to safeguard the safety and health of participants in the games, but we believe that the athlete should always be at the center of such an approach.”

A reporter for a Dutch news outlet was dragged away on video by a Chinese security officer outside the arena during a live broadcast of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony on Friday.
The reporter, Sjoerd den Daas, of NOS Nieuws (Nederlandse Omroep Stichting, a member of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting system) is seen in the clip being shoved and herded away from his camera by a Chinese security agent in a black jacket and red armband.
It is still unknown exactly what rule the reporter broke, and he was not detained, but the outrageous clip is evidence that the Red Chinese will brook no freedom of the press during the genocide games.

In its Tweet of the video clip, NOS wrote: “Our correspondent [den Daas] was pulled away from the camera by security guards at 12:00 pm live in the NOS Journal. Unfortunately, this is increasingly becoming a daily reality for journalists in China. He is fine and was able to finish his story a few minutes later.”
By some reports, the Chinese security guard is heard saying in Mandarin, “hurry up, step quickly,” as the Dutch reporter says, “I’m allowed to be here.”
NOS editor-in-chief Marcel Gelauff said the incident was “a painful illustration” of how the foreign press is treated in Red China. “Sjoerd has often told and shown that it is difficult as a journalist in China. There is a far-reaching tendency to curtail freedoms, and this may be even stronger because of corona,” Gelauff added, according to Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, via Yahoo News.
The treatment that Sjoerd den Daas faced is nothing new in China. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China recently decried the increasing harassment of journalists in the communist nation. In a report released in January, the organization revealed that foreign reporters are constantly slapped with nuisance lawsuits by Chinese officials. They are also hounded off streets during video reporting, face having their visas revoked, and are constantly ejected from the country. They also face attacks via tech, as well. They are routinely harassed by name on social media in China, and elsewhere, they have their accounts and their devices hacked, and they even face physical assault.
