全世界记者都忽略了一个怀孕的击剑运动员

在巴黎奥运会女子佩剑团体赛中，发生了一件值得注意的事情。Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez, who is seven months pregnant, competed in the event. This remarkable feat not only surprised the viewers worldwide, but also left the journalists regretful for missing out on such a compelling story.

During the competition, there was little mention of her in the media. This could mean that none of the journalists approached her for interviews at the mixed zone. The media seats in the fencing venue were situated at a distance from the competition area, and with fencers donning their bulky fencing gear, it was difficult to discern any physical differences. It was only when reviewing the footage that a close-up shot of her slightly protruding belly was revealed.

Hafez, after defeating American fencer Tartakovsky in the round of 32, faced off against South Korea's world number 13, Quann Ha-yeong, in the round of 16. She appeared bulkier and moved slower compared to her agile opponent. Despite being down 1-8, Hafez persisted in seeking scoring opportunities. When making mistakes or failing to evade her opponent's attacks, she would stomp her foot, and when she managed to score a hit, she would pump her fist and cheer herself on. In the end, she lost 7-15 and failed to advance to the quarter-finals.

Hafez spent seven years studying medicine at Cairo University. During this time, she represented Egypt at the Olympics twice: making her debut at the Rio Olympics and finishing 36th, and then improving to 29th at the Tokyo Olympics. "I am grateful to be able to pursue both my medical studies and my athletic career," she wrote on her social media account.

This was her third time competing at the Olympics, but it was different this time because she brought "an extra competitor" with her. "Both my baby and I face the same challenges, both physically and emotionally," Hafez said. Pregnancy itself is already difficult, and balancing life and sports is arduous, but it is worth it.

The fact that she was simultaneously pursuing her Olympic dream and nurturing a new life is a shining example of women's immense strength. This aligns perfectly with the Paris Olympics, where the ratio of male to female athletes is for the first time 1:1.

Before the article was published, the journalists tried to contact Hafez through social media for an interview, but there was no response. It is indeed regretful to miss out on such a brave, resilient, and remarkable story. However, the significance of this event goes far beyond completing a good article.
