Everyone is going crazy about Nada Hafez’s incredible feat of competing in the 2024 Olympics when she was seven months pregnant.
Hafez, a famous fencer, announced on social media during Monday’s competition at the Paris Olympic Games that she is around two months pregnant with her first child.
The Egyptian fencer, who is 26 years old, defeated a previous NCAA champion from the US, Elizabeth Tartakovsky, before falling to a South Korean, Jeon Hayoung.
