The 2024 Summer Olympics start on Friday, July 26th through Sunday, August 11th in Paris, France. In this thread, we will track all competitors who either won't be competing due to a health issue or have to leave early due to illness/Covid.

As of Tuesday, July 30th, 2024 at 2:10pm Eastern Standard Time, at least 13 Olympic athletes have tested positive for Covid. This number could be higher, as Belgian never stated exactly how many of their athletes have tested positive for Covid. If you include the number who have withdrawn or are dealing with "illness" not listed as covid, the total number of athletes impacted so far in the Olympics is likely over 20 and quickly growing.
