Team GB Skeet Shooter Amber Hill Unable to Compete in the Olympics After Positive COVID Test

Team GB skeet shooter Amber Hill, who is also the No. 1 ranked skeet shooter in the world, will not be competing in the Olympics.  She reportedly tested positive for COVID on Tuesday evening prior to flying out to Tokyo.

Britain's Amber Hill, the No. 1-ranked skeet shooter in the world, is out of the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19 prior to her departure for the Games, Team Great Britain announced.

"After five years of training and preparation, I’m absolutely devastated to say that last night I received a positive Covid-19 test, meaning I’ve had to withdraw from Team GB’s shooting team," Hill said in a statement, adding that she has not experienced any symptoms. "I will be back from this, but right now I need some time to reflect and take in what has happened."

Hill, 23, was set to fly to Tokyo on July 21, according to British Shooting. She would have competed in the skeet event, in which she was a finalist at the 2016 Olympics.

It's an unfortunate turn of events for Hill.  Being unable to compete in the games as the No. 1 ranked skeet shooter in the world is an extremely tough break.  Hopefully she's able to avoid any serious complications.

I would recommend stepping up the selfie game as a result of being unable to compete.  Drop a little fire on the gram, land a few sponsors, and cash in.  Being out of the Olympics doesn't mean you can't still compete on the gram.
