U.S. Alpine skier Paula Moltzan tested positive for the coronavirus and is asymptomatic and otherwise well but will miss this weekend’s World Cup giant slaloms in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
Skiers from around the globe have been tested multiple times per week since the World Cup season began in October. Some previously missed races due to their own positive tests or one from within their team.
“I have taken all the necessary precautions and diligently followed the COVID-19 protocols set by U.S. Ski & Snowboard and FIS [International Ski Federation] in order to stay safe, but unfortunately, between Flachau [a slalom on Tuesday] and Kranjska Gora, I’ve tested positive,” was posted on Moltzan’s social media.
