The Paris Olympics are the first to be held without the pandemic-era bubbles of the Tokyo Games in 2021 and the Beijing Games in 2022. In Tokyo, athletes were tested every four days. In Beijing, they were tested daily. When athletes tested positive, they were placed in quarantine. Most were forced to withdraw from the Games entirely.
