An Olympian and still very strong even when 34 weeks pregnant, Alysia Montaño ran the 800m on Thursday in the US Track and Field Championships.
The five-time national champion finished in 2min 32.13sec in the qualifying rounds, only seven weeks before she’s scheduled to give birth to her first child.
That the 28-year-old former University of California star finished last in her heat didn’t matter one bit to the crowd gathered at Hornet Stadium. Trailing the lead pack by more than 120m for most of the race, Montaño received a rousing ovation as she finished her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line.
Alysia Montano, 28, has been running throughout the entire duration of her pregnancy. That’s why she did not even hesitate before running in the 800 at 8 months pregnant.
This has to be record though, because i have not seen or heard of any such thing.
