'It's vital that we continue to keep a strong focus on the health and welfare of our athletes,' said Ted Morris, executive director of US Speedskating.
Spectators will not be allowed at the upcoming Olympic trials for the U.S. long-track team after a spike in COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin, US Speedskating announced on Monday.
The event was closed to spectators after Wisconsin reported 3,883 cases on Sunday with a 24.5 percent positive test rate for the past seven days, WLUK reported. Fans can still watch the speedskating trials online as the media coverage will be done completely virtually. "We appreciate the understanding of parents, fans and media so that we can provide the best environment possible for our athletes," Morris said.
