Two U.S. Olympic swimmers, David Johnston and Luke Whitlock, have tested positive for COVID-19 at the 2024 Paris Olympics, according to a report from SwimSwam.com.
Both swimmers were moved into isolation at a hotel to keep them away from other athletes. Johnston was set to compete in the 1500-meter freestyle, and those heats don't get underway until Saturday. He was also set for the 10km swim, which starts on August 9.
Seven Olympians tested positive during the Paris Olympics. British swimmer Adam Peaty, who won the silver medal after tying in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke with Nic Fink, and Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, who withdrew 1500 meter freestyle, also tested positive.
