TOKYO (Reuters) - Spain's women's hockey coach Adrian Lock was expecting to be bawling out instructions at his players from the sidelines at the Tokyo Olympics but has instead been left watching their progress on a laptop in a quarantine hotel after a positive COVID-19.

Briton Lock's saliva test came back positive half an hour before he was expected to hop on the team bus for a match against Australia early on Sunday.
