Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez competed in the Paris Olympics while seven months pregnant, a remarkable feat revealed on social media after her elimination. The 26-year-old from Cairo defeated US fencer Elizabeth Tartakovsky in the round of 32, before losing to South Korea's Jeon Ha-young in the last 16. Hafez's achievement is a testament to her skill and determination, as she navigated the demands of Olympic competition while carrying her unborn child, affectionately referred to as her "little Olympian". Her historic participation sets an inspiring example for athletes and expectant mothers alike.
