'I cry every day,' biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova said while complaining about her quarantine experience.
The Olympic competitors have taken to social media or notified their home countries about a lack of available or edible food, as well as a lack of transparency regarding the nation's coronavirus protocols.
Vasnetsova also shared a photo of what she said was"breakfast, lunch and dinner for five days already," which included a tray of plain pasta, charred meat, some potatoes and no greens. "I honestly don't understand, why is there this attitude to us, the athletes?!" she said, while noting that she has lost so much weight that her"bones are already sticking out."
Other Olympians have called out the game's organizers over what they claim are confusing quarantine protocols. Those who arrived in Beijing and tested positive for COVID-19, but are asymptomatic are supposed to isolate in a designated hotel, while symptomatic individuals are sent to be treated in Chinese hospitals. However, some athletes who tested positive have been allowed to isolate inside the Olympic Village instead.
