Heaving rivalry: norovirus scores first Olympic win over ice hockey

The winter Games are off to a rocky start with the outbreak and claims against a French skater
An explosion of norovirus cases has placed the women's ice hockey competition at the Winter Olympics in doubt.
The first match in the competition between Finland and Canada had to be postponed on Thursday. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) insisted there was no outbreak, despite five cases being confirmed.
On Friday the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation released a statement saying its whole team was in isolation, following a positive test after their 4-3 win over the Czech Republic. They chose not to participate in the opening ceremony on Friday night. Meanwhile 13 members of the Finland team had been infected or placed into quarantine, the Associated Press reported.
Finland eventually played their first match against the US yesterday, while Switzerland's game against Canada also went ahead. The concern will be that more cases will appear given the close quarters of the Olympic Village.
