Players for the Beijing Olympic Ski Nordic Combined Individual Normal Hill have been announced, and both Norwegian Jarl Magnus Riiber and German Eric Frenzeel have been decided to be absent as medal candidates.
It has been revealed that the two were tested positive for the new coronavirus.
The Nordic combined individual normal hill has been announced before the competition on the 9th, and among them, the Norwegian Libel player who has won the World Cup all-around for the third consecutive time and is currently the second-placed individual and the fifth-placed individual. Germany's Frenzeel, who has won the Sochi tournament for the second time in a row, has not entered, and it has been decided that two players will be absent.
Earlier this month, the two were found to have tested positive for the new coronavirus.
In addition, Estonian Christian Ilves, who was 6th overall in the all-around, was not entered, and the competition will be held with 3 of the top 10 World Cup players not participating.
Regarding this situation, Akito Watabe, who is the 10th overall individual in Japan's ace, said, "Honestly, I thought that no one should be lacking, and the match will be worthwhile if the" Top of Top "is complete. At the moment, I can't afford to worry about other people, but if I'm in the best condition, I'd like to beat everyone and win the gold medal. I'm very sorry and lonely. "
