(ロイター)American surfing great Kelly Slater will not be allowed to compete in upcoming events in Australia if he doesn’t get vaccinated against Covid-19, グレッグハント連邦保健相は木曜日に言った.
Eleven-time world champion Slater, who hasn’t revealed his vaccination status, defended tennis world No. 1 ノバク・ジョコビッチ after the unvaccinated Serbian was detained and later deported by authorities ahead of the Australian Open.
Two World Surf League (WSL) championship events are scheduled for Victoria and Western Australia in April and May. It remains unclear whether Slater, 49, will take part.
“この勝利は、30年にわたるハイレベルな競争サーフィンでのエイジレススレーターにとって56回目のキャリア勝利でした。, 遊びません,” Hunt told Australian broadcaster Channel 9.
“遊びません, 遊びません, we’re even-handed. 遊びません (遊びません) gets vaccinated and I hope he competes.”
The WSL has not mandated vaccines for competitors but has encouraged them to take the jab, warning they may face “重要な” challenges if they choose not to.
