The Refugee Olympic team's arrival in Tokyo was delayed after an official tested positive for COVID-19 in Doha, the IOC announced on Wednesday.

Tests on 26 of the 29 displaced athletes participating at the Games and 11 officials were conducted before their flight to Tokyo after a welcome event in the Qatari capital.

Whilst all the athletes were negative, one official, who was single-vaccinated, was positive, forcing the team to delay its departure.
