Inside the Australian Olympic Committee's tailored quarantine support program for athletes, coaches and support staff | ameliamcguiree
The program focuses on what life will be like after the Games, and involves activities like website design and strategies for those who intend to retire or expand their skill set, in addition to training programs for those who will continue to compete.
“We’re even looking at dance nights with music they can tune into from their rooms as a kind of virtual party for those in quarantine. Injured athletes would have access to physiotherapy and medical care but, like anyone else, would not be able to exercise outside their hotel rooms.“We’ve organised yoga mats and resistance bands and they’ll be able to access at-home exercise equipment.”
The rowers are the first of more than 850 to return home to Australia from Tokyo. Around 189 team members will go back to other destinations between now and August 13.At this stage, the US and some parts of Europe do not make vaccinated individuals to quarantine upon arrival from overseas. But upon arrival in Australia, the Olympians are transferred to government administered hotels and facilities to undertake mandatory supervised quarantine.
