Egypt's Nada Hafez revealed after her fencing event that she had been pregnant for seven months during the competition, achieving her best result in three Olympics.
Azerbaijani archer Yaylagul Ramazanova shared on Instagram that she competed while six-and-a-half months pregnant, feeling her baby kick before hitting the maximum score of 10 points.
Pregnant Olympians are a rare phenomenon, with most stories involving athletes who were earlier in pregnancy or did not even know they were expecting, like U.S. beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings during the London Games in 2012.
