Two-time Olympian Madi Wilson<\/strong> pulled out of the International Swimming League (ISL) Match 8 after testing positive for COVID-19<\/p>\n

Wilson<\/a>, who said she was fully vaccinated prior to the Tokyo Olympics, made the announcement on social media. She has been hospitalized in Naples. She isn’t the first fully vaccinated person to test positive or land in a hospital, though the Center for Disease Control said that number is around 2 percent of those hospitalized with COVID-19.<\/p>\n

“I am extremely disappointed and upset not to be racing along side my teammates in match 8 here in the ISL. I recently tested positive for covid and yesterday was moved into hospital for further care and observation. Even though I am double vaccinated and took the right precaution set in place through the ISL, I have managed to fall to this virus. It\u2019s been a crazy few months and I believe being run down physically and mentally may have made me more susceptible. I feel extremely unlucky but I do believe this is a huge wake up call, Covid is a serious thing and when it comes it hits very hard. I\u2019d be stupid not to say I wasn\u2019t scared. I\u2019m so lucky for all my family, friends and support people. I can\u2019t believe how much love I have been shown and I\u2019m forever in debt to these people,” Madi Wilson posted. “Special thanks to my incredible LA family, you haven\u2019t and wont ever see a team with a bigger heart then theirs, away from the pool the most incredible compassionate group of people and in the pool we are fighting with every bit of strength. I can promise we will be ready to fire come semifinals!
\n“I\u2019m taking some time to rest and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be ready to bounce back in no time.”<\/span><\/p>\n
