Just been reading about Tom Dean and another ex Olympic winner Cameron Van Der Burch.
Both at peak fitness, young at 22 and 31, and both absolutely hammered by Covid.
Tom Dean was saying yesterday he was breathless walking up the stairs and couldn’t train for 7 weeks as he was so knocked by it. Cameron still suffering affects from having it last year.
Loads of these examples but with Tokyo going on at the moment and these being swimmers who are renowned for fitness it’s another reminder that ‘being young’ and healthy is no immunity to getting very ill. There are other young people who have been affected even more badly.
