On the platform at the Games, 7 months pregnant. Nothing HafezEgyptian fencer who yesterday reached the eighth finals of the individual Olympic tournament in Paris, reveals via Instagram that “while it seemed like there were two of us on the platform, in reality there were three of us: me, my opponent and my baby who will come into the world“.
“My baby and I,” the 26-year-old Egyptian wrote, “have had our fair share of challenges, both physical and emotional. The rollercoaster of pregnancy is tough in itself, but having to fight to maintain a balance between life and sports has been exhausting to say the least, but it has been worth it. I am proud to have made it to the round of 16,” Nada said, thanking her husband Ibrahim and her family for their support and adding: “These Olympics have been different. I am a three-time Olympian – a reference to previous participations in Rio and Tokyo – but this time I am bringing a little Olympian with me.”
