Singapore's Yeo suffers injury

SINGAPORE (AFP): Singapore's swimming sensation Joscelin Yeo suffered an elbow injury which could jeopardize her hopes of winning nine gold medals in the upcoming Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.

Yeo, 20, bruised a nerve in her elbow during a weights training session in the United States, where she is currently studying and training, the Straits Times daily reported on Monday.

The injury comes as a blow to Yeo, who has been in superb form after smashing six national records in the last two months.

Despite the injury, she will still swim in the SEA Games in Brunei beginning on Saturday.
