Gauff’s positive test was just the latest coronavirus disruption for the Games. On Saturday, officials reported the first positive test — for an organizer — inside the village, where thousands of people will be staying. On Sunday, they reported that two athletes had tested positive inside the village. It was unclear whether those were the cases reported by Olympic officials, who did not disclose any names or nationalities. Olympic officials defended their safety protocols on Sunday, saying a strict testing regimen minimized the risk of outbreaks.
