Team USA figure skater Vincent Zhou has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after the start of the Beijing Olympics.
U.S. Figure Skating said in a statement the 21-year-old tested positive on Sunday as part of regular screening at the Olympics. He tested positive the same day that he competed in the men's team free skate, in which he placed third, helping his team secure second place overall on the second day of competition.
He is now undergoing additional testing to confirm the positive result, the team said.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
