Norway recently moved Monaco to a 'red' Corona status, which means that anyone traveling from Monaco to Norway must quarantine for at least 10 days. Both the Warholm and Ingebritsen camps are deciding what to do.

Ingebrigtsens are based out of Sankt Moritz anyway, so the 10 days will have long passed, right? Guess I should read the article before posting...
Gave me a heart attack.

According to the plan, Sunnmøringen will run the first 400 meter hurdles of the year in competition in Monaco on 14 August. On Thursday, however, the principality was given the status of "red land" by the government, and thus Warholm must think again.
- As the situation is now, we need time. We are in an assessment phase and have no more information about the case now, writes Warholm's mother and manager Kristine Haddal in an SMS to NRK.
If Warholm chooses to travel to Monaco, he must expect a ten-day quarantine when returning to Norway. Top sports director Erlend Slokvik of the Norwegian Athletics Association says that he does not want to ban Norwegian athletes from participating in the competition.

- We only ask the athletes to think carefully before they decide to leave the country, he says to NRK.
The runner brothers Henrik, Filip and Jakob Ingebrigtsen have also not decided whether they will go to Monaco.
- It is unclear what the boys do, father and coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen told TV 2 on Thursday.

Surely they will go. What other proper races are they going to have this season? Monaco this year is going to be essentially the substitute Olympics.
If Jakob doesn't go (and beat Tim), and then when Jakob wins gold next year (assuming they are held next year), Tim and his many deluded fans here will be claiming that if Tokyo had taken place in 2020, he would have won.
They will say the same even more if Tokyo doesn't take place at all next year.

As a Norwegian I like how bullish you are on Jakob :)
Be careful Norway. They're taking down your flag too!

I live pretty close to that B&B, so I've read and commented on the story numerous times. Sad state of affairs ...
So the Nazis stole the swastika (an old Sami and Thor symbol, and I am both Sami and Norse), if the slaveholders take my flag I will be pretty mad with the intolerant people of the world. Well I have been that for a long time. But, you know.

Fun fact: More runners beat Jakob at last years world champs (either event) than the combined amount of runners that beat Tim ALL SEASON LONG.
They have got to go and it's totally worth it. The Ingebrigtsens can spent more time in St. Moritz training afterward, and Warholm can find a good place as well. This is the meet of the season.
can spend more time.
The Ingebrigtsens will not attend the meet, trust me.
Contracting covid and risking to permanently lose even 0.5% lung capacity would be catastrophic.
The risk simply doesn't outweigh the potential reward. Sucks for the fans, but it is how it is.

They already are on Sankt Moritz at altitude. It cannot be any different. They would not go to altitude without the plan for the future to race Monaco.

Any little excuse to avoid getting smashed at Monaco.
Why they'd pick Monaco as at risk is beyond me. Monaco is #186 in the world in cases with 128. They had three new cases today. They've had a total of 4 deaths in a country with lots of old tax-avoidant people.

I doubt they're worried about it at all.
You are obviously not trustworthy. That is like saying they won't go because they don't want to risk getting into a crippling accident. Their dad is a lot smarter and tougher than you.
