This is one of the highest daily increases of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 linked to the international sporting event since organizers started keeping records on July 1. And the spike in Olympic COVID cases came on the same day that Tokyo reported the highest-ever number of daily cases (3,865) in the Japanese capital since the pandemic began.

The new athletes testing positive include U.S. pole vaulter Sam Kendricks, who took home a bronze medal in Rio in 2016. He will no longer be competing in the Tokyo Games. A U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee tweet confirmed that he has been transferred to a hotel to be placed in isolation, in accordance with local rules and protocols.

His positive test also sent three members of Australia’s track and field team into isolation as a precautionary measure, since they had “fleeting” contact with Kendricks. These three have been vaccinated against COVID-19, and have so far tested negative, according to the Australian Olympic Committee. Argentinian pole vaulter German Chiaraviglio has also tested positive, which he revealed on Instagram on Thursday. He is isolating in his hotel.

The Wall Street Journal notes that it is not clear if Kendricks was vaccinated against COVID-19; during a June 14 zoom call with reporters, he didn’t directly answer the question. In fact, 100 American athletes at the Tokyo Olympics are unvaccinated against COVID-19, according to the team doctor. Although it should be noted that the 83% vaccination rate of Team USA is still much higher than the national vaccination rate in the U.S.
