Natalia Maliszewska, 26, described a “traumatic” experience, during which she said she was ruled in and out of the Games several times due to conflicting Covid-19 test results. “I was sitting in the ambulance. It was 3am. I was crying like crazy because I didn’t know what was going on. I did not feel safe at all,” she said.
