Zhou tested positive after his daily screening on Sunday, the same day he performed a free skate routine to help the United States win a silver medal in the team competition
American men’s figure skater Vincent Zhou tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, leaving in jeopardy his status for the individual competition, which begins Tuesday morning in Beijing .
Zhou, of Palo Alto, California, was not present at the medal ceremony for the team competition. As such, he was unable to receive his silver medal, which would be his first, and potentially, only Olympic medal of his career. Also of issue is the Olympics close contract tracing and whether Zhou, if he is indeed positive, could have spread the virus to any of his teammates. Zhou was around nearly the entire United States skating team — men, women, pairs and ice dance, at the competition Sunday. There are other interactions in the Olympic Village, training and dining.
