A mixture of positive COVID tests and protocol confusion delayed the University of Utah student’s flights
A mixture of positive COVID tests and protocol confusion kept Dawson, 21, grounded in Utah when his teammates left for the 2022 Winter Olympics last week. It wasn’t until Saturday that he finally got the clearance to travel to China. The next day he was on a flight — or, rather, a series of three flights from Salt Lake City to Atlanta to Paris to Beijing — hoping he would arrive in time to race the 1,500 meters.
“Stepping to the line was the biggest thing for me,” he said. “Like, I didn’t think I was going to get to the line in the first place. I thought my individual chances were gone, gone with the wind. And so just stepping in line for the 1,500 meters, it was amazing.” “It’s something I wouldn’t want to do,” said the USA’s Emery Lehman, who finished 11th . “Usually when you travel that long, I think we waited three days before we skated, maybe two. So for him to come in, touch the ice and then skate all within, I don’t know what, it was [within] 12 hours of landing and the time change and the jet lag and sitting on a plane for that long. It’s something I’m glad I would not have to do.
The computer engineering student at the University of Utah tested positive for the coronavirus within days of returning home from the Olympic trials in Milwaukee. That was in mid-January, and since he is vaccinated and wasn’t showing any symptoms, he was confident he would have enough time to recover and stop shedding the virus before the flight to China at the end of the month.
