Published February 4, 2022 5:51 AM

BEIJING (AP) — Nordic combined superstar Eric Frenzel and teammate Terence Weber have tested positive for COVID-19 twice in Beijing, landing them in an isolation hotel. Frenzel won gold on the normal hill at the 2018 Olympics _ as he did at the Sochi Games _ and also earned gold in the team competition as well as a silver on the large hill, giving him six Olympic medals in his career. Frenzel is one medal away from matching the Nordic combined record of seven set by Felix Gottwald of Austria. He is tied for the all-time lead in the sport with three golds, matching Gottwald, Finland’s Samppa Lajunen and Ulrich Wehling of Germany.
