PARIS (Reuters) - When an Egyptian fencer picked up her sabre and an Azerbaijani archer steadied her bow, there was one thing Paris Olympics spectators may not have immediately noticed - they were pregnant.
Though Nada Hafez did not walk away with a fencing medal, she said her Paris journey served as proof to herself that she could surmount challenges, as well as being a positive example for her soon-to-be-born child and a message for other women.
