The winner of the last World Cup expresses herself on the case of the day, that is the Swedish team forced to miss Levi's matches due to the positivity of only one technician. "It will be like this throughout the season, because in football we go on and there are no clear rules here?".

A clear, clear thought, without delay.
The case of the day in Levi concerns the Swedish women's national team, unable by the Finnish health authorities to take to the track on Saturday and Sunday for the first two slaloms of the season, indeed ended up directly in isolation and with a one week quarantine, for having had contacts with his manager in charge, Christian Thoma, tested positive (twice, with the confirmation of the second swab) for Covid-19, albeit asymptomatic.
And the thought released in the evening via social media is by Federica Brignone, not exactly the latest arrival. As leader, the Aosta Valley champion (who among other things, being within the 30 of the specialty WCSL, will be able to start with the bib n ° 16 without athletes like Swenn-Larsson, Wikstroem, Hector and Saefvenberg) takes the side of the athletes, who have done everything to stay away from the troubles linked to the Covid situation, in the now infamous "bubbles", two days after their debut they are out. “What do we do the tests for? How is it possible that all the athletes of a nation (with 3 negative tests for each of them) with only one positive coach, are not allowed to run? It's right? And what if one person on each team were to test positive? Wouldn't anyone compete? This will always happen during the season and everyone knows it ”.
And again, the Brignone thought focuses on different rules with other sports: “Why in football, where there is contact between the athletes themselves, can one go on even with more positive cases in a team? We want clear and equal rules for everyone, my solidarity with Swedish girls ”.
