A pregnant fencer shares she won at Paris Olympics.

Nada Hafez, the Egyptian fencer, experienced a whirlwind of emotions after her victory against Elizabeth Tartakovsky in the Paris Olympics. But what many didn't know was that she was seven months pregnant at the time.

In the first round of the women's individual sabre, Hafez defeated her opponent from Team USA before ultimately losing to South Korean star Jeon Hayoung. It was a bittersweet moment for Hafez, who took to Instagram to reveal her pregnancy and the challenges she faced during the competition.

Hafez proudly shared a photo of herself on the podium with her competitor and her unborn child. She expressed her gratitude towards her husband and family for their trust and support, allowing her to compete in the Olympics while carrying her little "Olympian one."

As a three-time Olympian, Hafez has competed in sabre at the last three consecutive Olympic Games, including Rio in 2016 and Tokyo in 2020. She also has an impressive track record, winning silver at the African Zonal Championships in 2018 and bronze in 2014 and 2019.

Ranked 29th in the world and Egypt's top competitor, according to the International Fencing Federation, Hafez entered the Paris Olympics with high hopes. And although Egypt has only won one bronze medal so far, Hafez's inspiring journey has captured the hearts of many.
