Medical ePPQ’s • All athletes and staff will complete ePPQs prior to travel to confirm • Athlete is physically and mentally capable of competing • All medications and supplements so that anything that requires a TUE is identified • Important allergies, particularly food and any severe allergies • COVID vaccination status This must be completed prior to travel
COVID-19 Vaccine
• World Athletics and CSC is requiring that all athletes and team staff be
“fully vaccinated”
➢ Two doses of one of the following vaccines:
➢ Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZenica, Covaxin, Covishield, BIBP-Sinopharm, Sinovac
➢ One dose of the Janssen
➢ UK/CWG also recognizes the Novovax and Medicago vaccines
• Athletics Canada is strongly recommending that all athletes and staff be fully
vaccinated AND obtain a “booster” dose of the vaccine
➢ COVID is currently still circulating widely in Canada and the US
➢ Having 3 doses of the vaccine will
➢ Lower your risk of contracting the virus
➢ If you contract COVID, it will lower your risk of spreading the virus to another team member
➢ If you contract COVID, it will lower your risk of severe illness
• If you have any questions about your vaccination status, please contact Dr.
McCluskey (pmccluskey@csipacific.ca) or Dr. Kraft (skraft@csiontario.ca) ASAPOther Vaccines
• Recommended for both trips are those vaccines recommended for all travel
➢ Tetanus, diphtheria and Pertussis:
➢ Needed once every 10 years. It is routinely given in school at age 14; due again at 24yrs of age.
➢ Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR):
➢ 2 Full MMR vaccines needed for full protection.
➢ Varicella/Chicken Pox:
➢ Highly recommended if you have never had chicken pox.
➢ Hepatitis B:
➢ This has been available as a childhood immunization since the late 1980s.
Important: Recommended for all travel regardless of location, so please ensure that you have had this
vaccine
➢ Meningococcal:
➢ This causes meningitis and can be contacted by close contact with those infected. International
outbreaks are common.
➢ Hepatitis A:
➢ Transmitted by contaminated food or water or directly by infected persons. Two doses provide
protection for life.
• There are no specific vaccines recommend for travel to Eugene, USA or
Birmingham, UKCOVID-19 Travel
• AC’s ( & the COC’s experience at Tokyo ( & Beijing ) Olympics demonstrated how well the
infection control protocols prevented ANY infection during travel
• We are going to continue to ask staff and athletes to:
➢ Reduce your personal contacts in the 2 days prior to travel
➢ Wear a mask during travel
➢ Bring 3-4 in case 1 or more are spoiled
➢ Wash your hands frequently.
➢ Should have at least 60% alcohol
➢ Use disinfectant wipes to wipe down seat/viewing screen
➢ Consider wearing eye protection when on your flight
• It is important to be well rested on travel day so that your immune system is functioning
well
• Ensure that you bring appropriate fluids/food to stay hydrated/fed on the flight. It is Ok
to take mask off to eat/drink but avoid doing so when others are feeding/drinking.COVID-19 Testing
• Testing at the World Championships
➢ LOC testing requirements: TBC
➢ Based on current guidelines to enter the USA, you will need a negative pre-travel COVID test (could be
RAg or PCR).
➢ If there are no other LOC testing requirements, Athletics Canada is planning on additional daily testing
for the 4 days after arrival
• Testing for the CWG
➢ LOC testing requirements:
➢ Pre-Travel PCR required (timing TBD)
➢ Daily PCR testing
➢ Canadian CWG recommending testing 5-10 days prior to LOC requirement for pre-travel PCR
➢ To avoid any “surprise positives”
➢Athletes that test positive will be isolated for minimum 5 days
➢ LOC protocols (TBD) will dictate if you can train and/or compete
➢ There is a Results Committee that will review each positive, case by caseCOVID-19 Testing (Pre-Event)
• Any symptoms that could be COVID (respiratory, gastrointestinal) and occur between now and
when you travel should be tested to confirm if it is COVID
➢ You can travel if you’ve had a prior positive and are deemed to be not infectious.
➢ Persistent Positives are common and so you may need a medical letter that indicates
➢ The day you began to have symptoms
➢ The day of your positive test
➢ What kind of test (rapid antigen vs PCR, home test vs done at a testing clinic)
➢ The day your symptoms resolved as you will not be able to travel until major symptoms have resolved
➢ Major symptoms: Fever, muscle aches, shortness of breath
➢ Your full vaccination status (ie dates of vaccines)
• When onsite, AC’s primary goal for any positive result (real or false) is to ensure the health of the
individual and their close contacts. We will
➢ Isolate all individuals after a positive result
➢ Review all close contacts on a case by case basis to ensure we take appropriate steps to mitigate any potential risk of spread of COVID
within the team
➢ Ensure close medical monitoring, particularly if someone develops symptoms
➢ Take steps immediately to arrange for confirmatory tests.
• Our COVID protocols are meant to minimize the number of “close contacts”Anti-Doping
• Please keep your where-abouts on ADAMS up to date
➢ You must be available for testing from the date of arrival to your departure from training camp/competition
➢ There are penalties for avoiding or refusing tests.

Sport Psychology/Mental Performance – what to
understand for Worlds and Commonwealth
Games
• Recognize that the environment is inherently stressful, and emotional
• You may be expecting/thinking and planning to win a medal
• You may have a minor injury, or COVID, and have missed some training
• You might worry about letting your teammates down, or your coach, family, sponsors - all the “what ifs”
• Understand that this normal – and the skill is to acknowledge and accept that nervousness/anxiety,
and then “shift” from those kinds of thoughts to more productive ones – what you want to ”pay
attention to” that will help you execute your best race/throw, to effectively manage emotions
• Everyone’s job is to understand and accept - this is the environment
• Look for solutions
• Remain positive
• Effectively manage issues as they arise
• Communicate, communicate, communicate
• Ask for help if you need it
• Remember your purpose - personal best, top 8, a medalKey IST Contacts • alison.nagata@athletics.ca SSSMI Lead • pmccluskey@csipacific.ca Chief Medical Officer • skraft@csiontario.ca East Hub Physician • a.stephen@athletics.ca Lead Therapist East Hub • dana.way@athletics.ca Lead Sports Science/Biomechanist • pwerthner@rogers.com Lead MPC • jsygo@rogers.com Nutritionist • gsandford@csipacific.ca Physiologist
