His coach Danil Chaban told the RIA Novosti news agency Tuesday that Tregubov tested positive for the coronavirus during a recent training camp in the southern city of Sochi. Two-time ski jumping gold medalist Andreas Wellinger will also miss the Beijing Games because he tested positive last week, one day before the German team was selected.
