Up to half of the 6000 athletes currently competing at the Winter Olympics in Sochi could be doing so without adequate personal accident insurance, according to Beazley.
The lack of uptake in PA cover has been attributed to the fact that a high proportion of competitors are amateurs and either can't afford insurance or simply don't deem it necessary.
