Paris Paralympics: 7-month pregnant archer created history by winning a medal, says baby was constantly kicking in the womb…

In the Paris Paralympics 2024, British archer Jodie Grinham has done such a feat, which no one has been able to do in the history of the Paralympic Games so far. Grinham, with only half a thumb (no finger) in one hand, is 7 months pregnant. Despite this, she has won a bronze medal in the Paralympics. No pregnant woman has been able to win a medal before this. Pregnant Grinham performed very well and made it to the semi-finals, but she lost due to the movement of the child during the semi-finals, because of which she was having a lot of trouble. However, she did not lose courage in the bronze medal match and finally won.

31-year-old British archer Jodie Grinham said after winning the bronze medal that it was not easy for her. My baby was constantly kicking in the womb. As if it was shouting and saying, Mother what are you doing? But I was confident that I can compete. I will give my best. Whether there is a baby in the womb or not, I will win the medal.

On the weekend, before winning the medal in the Paralympics in Paris, Jodie Grinham was admitted to a hospital because the baby inside her tummy was not kicking. Her baby's heart was being monitored continuously. Even during the training, she would get ready for the sudden movements of the child. Now she will be able to tell her child that he had reached the podium even before coming into the world.

Grinham is now the mother of a child. Actually, she has taken a very hard way to win this medal. Before conceiving her second child, she had become pregnant thrice but could not be a mother. During such a situation, playing in pregnancy was not only physically tough but also mentally tough. Earlier, Grinham had captured the gold medal in the Tokyo Paralympics and the bronze medal in the Rio Paralympics.
