Four competitors including a shooting world number one saw their Tokyo Olympic dreams dashed on Wednesday after testing positive for the coronavirus.
British shooter Amber Hill, top-ranked in the women’s skeet, was forced to pull out before she departed for Japan after testing positive.
“After five years of training and preparation, I’m absolutely devastated,” she said in a team statement.
Table tennis player Pavel Sirucek became the third member of the Czech delegation to test positive for COVID-19 in the Athletes’ Village, the team said.

The Tokyo Olympics are being staged in biosecure “bubble” conditions, with athletes tested daily and under orders to stay socially distanced and wear masks when not competing, training, eating or sleeping.
One of Team GB s leading gold medal hopes was ruled out with Covid-19 on Wednesday as the Olympics was gripped by infection anxiety on the eve of the opening ceremony.
Amber Hill, the women s skeet shooting world No 1, was left absolutely devastated on a day of high apprehension which saw hundreds of athletes confirm they will not be attending the Tokyo 2020 curtain-raiser.
Just 30 of the 375 Team GB athletes will be at the ceremony, joining many other nations in having to dramatically scale-down numbers for the parade due to perceived risks of mingling and being pinged.
Hill was never due to be among them as she tested positive for Covid before boarding her flight out of the UK to Tokyo ahead of qualification for the women s skeet competition on Sunday. She became the third British Covid withdrawal after Dan Evans and Johanna Konta, but had a significantly better chance of winning her discipline than the tennis pair.
