"Full of pride"
Pregnant fencer only out in the round of 16!
Despite her failure in the second sabre match, Egyptian Nada Hafez was overcome with happiness. Because the 26-year-old is taking part in the Olympic Games in Paris, even though she is seven months pregnant.
"What looked like two competitors was actually three! There was me, my opponent and my unborn little baby," Hafez wrote on Instagram.
On Monday, the sabre fencer burst into tears after her opening victory against US American Elizabeth Tartakovsky. In the round of 16, Hafez lost to Jeon Hayoung from South Korea in front of the impressive backdrop of the Grand Palais.
"... but it was absolutely worth it!"
"The rollercoaster ride of pregnancy is tough. But then balancing everyday life and sport was exhausting, but absolutely worth it," said Hafez.
She was "full of pride" to have made it to the round of 16. "It was my third Games, but this time I was carrying a little Olympian."
