2024 Olympics: Tom Cruise, Lady Gaga & More Stars Cheering on Team USA Women’s Gymnastics!

Nada Hafez wasn’t alone for her 2024 Olympic bouts.

The Egyptian fencer revealed that when she stepped up to the piste in Paris for her third Olympic Games, she did so while seven months pregnant with her and husband Ibrahim Ihab’s first child.

“What appears to you as two players on the podium, they were actually three,” Nada began a July 30 Instagram Post, after reaching the round of 16. “It was me, my competitor, & my yet-to-come to our world, little baby!”

She continued, “My baby & I had our fair share of challenges, be it both physical & emotional. The rollercoaster of pregnancy is tough on its own, but having to fight to keep the balance of life & sports was nothing short of strenuous, however worth it.”

And though the 26-year-old ultimately lost to South Korea’s Jeon Hayoung in the round of 16 after an impressive victory over USA’s Elizabeth Tartakovsky in the round of 32, Nada took a moment to pride in what she accomplished—and those who helped get her there.
