Ellen Keane reckons it was written in the stars that she would get Covid just a few weeks out from the Para Swimming World Championships.
Having dodged the virus for two years, the Tokyo gold winner suddenly fell ill during a training session seven days ago and is in a race against time to be fit for the championships in Madeira from June 12.
"I actually just think I was meant to get it," said Keane, who described how antigens and masks had been dropped in for the swimmers on the same day she fell ill during a session ahead of the upcoming championships.
