Canadian Poon has chicken pox

Canadian swimmer Victoria Poon has been quarantined with chicken pox, according to CBC Sports swimming analyst Mark Tewksbury.

Poon, from LaSalle, Que., was taken to a local hospital in Beijing and didn't compete Sunday in the women's 4x100 metre freestyle relay team that finished eighth.

Poon, 23, who won the Canadian Trials in Montreal, was also expected to compete in the women's 50 freestyle on Friday, but her current condition may prevent her from participating.


Oh, I guess it's not as serious as I thought.  I was afraid we'd see a bunch of Canadian guys coming down to look for healthy women, but it's just one Poon that has the pox.  :rotf:

They should give her a lot of vitamin-C rich Tang to help her get better.

Maybe they could even name the treatment after her...
