Snowboarder Rok Marguč will replace his team-mate Žan Košir as one of Slovenia’s flag bearers at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on 4 February, as Košir remains in isolation after testing positive for coronavirus upon arriving in China, the Slovenian Olympic Committee said.
It also announced that cross-country skier Eva Urevc had tested positive for coronavirus upon arriving in China as well. If her next two tests are not negative, she will need isolate.
