Buntis na Paralympian archer napana ang 2 medalya

GUMAWA ng kasaysayan ang British archer Jodie Grinham sa Paris na unang Paralympian na nagwagi ng medalya habang ganap na buntis.

Pinatalsik ni Grinham ang kanyang kababayan at kaibigan Phoebe Paterson Pine, ang gold medalist sa Tokyo 2020, sa Women’s Individual Compound shoot-off para sa bronze medal nakaraang September 1.

Ang 31-year-old pink-haired archer ay pitong buwan na buntis nang magwagi siya ng medalya.

Sinabi niya sa opisyal Paralympic Games website na sinabihan niya ang kanyang baby na tumigil sa pagsipa sa panahon ng kanyang laban.

“The baby hasn’t stopped, it’s like the baby is going, ‘What’s going on, it’s really loud, mommy, what are you doing?’ But it’s been like a little honor knowing that the baby’s there and just a reminder of the little support bubble that I’ve got in my tummy,” wika ni Grinham.

Sa huli nagwagi si Grinham ng gold medal sa Mixed Team Compound event kasama ang kanyang teammate Nathan Macqueen, nalagpasan ang kanyang silver finish sa Rio 2016.

“All I wanted to do at the end was jump up and down and cry and scream and shout,” sambit ni Grinham sa BBC Wales. “But being heavily pregnant, realistically the best thing to do was crouch down and take a second and then I could give hugs and things.”
