The first pregnant para medallist

British archer Jodie Grinham became the first pregnant Paralympic athlete to win a medal when she claimed bronze in women's individual compound, official Paralympics social media counts said on Aug 31.
-
Seven months pregnant, the 31year-old held her nerves to beat Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist and friend Phoebe Paterson Pine by a razor-thin 142-141 scoreline in the bronze medal match-up on Aug 30 at the Esplanade des Invalides.
Turkey's Oznur Cure took the gold, beating Iranian Fatemeh Hemmati 144-141 in the final.
"Baby hasn't stopped kicking," Grinham said. "It's almost like baby's going, what's going on? It's really loud, mummy what are you doing? But it's been a lovely reminder of the support bubble I have in my belly.
"I'm really proud of myself, I've had difficulties and it's not been easy. But as long as I'm healthy and baby's healthy, I knew I could compete. I knew if I shot as well as I could, baby or not, I could come back as a medal."
