Quaranteam program to help Australian athletes through difficult 14 days post Tokyo Olympics

ABC  

Concerts, dance parties, a chat with one of the performers in Hamilton, and even mastering the art of taking a perfect quarantine selfie with one of the world's leading photographic agencies are just some of the activities planned for Australia's Olympians who are arriving home and heading into quarantine. The Australian Olympic team quarantine program has been developed in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Sport and Paralympics Australia and approved by both the chief medical officer and the team's lead sport psychologist. With the creative assistance of the Australian Olympic Committee's athletes' commission, the program will rotate over days so athletes can all access the offerings despite which day they return home. "It's just to say yes Australia has respected what you've done … whether you got a medal or didn't get a medal you are welcomed back to Australia and we're going to make the best effort we possibly can over the 14 days of quarantine," Carroll said. While the last athletes from the summer Olympics complete their quarantine in Australia the AOC will already be in full swing making the final arrangements for Australia's winter Olympic team heading to Beijing starting six months from today.
