The Pregnant Olympian

Have you been keeping up with the news on the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London?  Whether you're traveling right now by car rental and watching from random screens at restaurants or you have a car hire in London, most people have tuned in to see at least one sport.  Although, even if you think you don't have time to be interested in any sports at all there may still be something of interest to you in the Olympics.

While most of my friends are talking about the games, the amazing events, and beautiful athletes, I haven't seen even a minute of it.  I'm not against the Olympics, not in the slightest; I'm simply a mom with a lot more on my agenda than watching sports.  I know the 2012 Summer Olympics would be thrilling to watch, and it's always interesting to see which countries are turning out the world's best athletes in this or that event, but I guess I've just been too busy doing mom things.  That is, until I saw the story of the [8-Months-Pregnant Olympian][2].

As a woman who survived pregnancy recently I can't think of anything that would make the competition more interesting!  Even just the idea is so intriguing it makes you want to know more about this woman and her sport.  How did she get chosen to compete and end up pregnant at the same time?  Does it affect her performance?  How have other athletes been treating her?  Thankfully she is not doing anything like the tennis or beach volleyball, but her sport does depend on focus and a steady hand, which can both be greatly compromised in the 8th month of pregnancy with a baby kicking your ribs!  Of course, this is also a big year for all women, mothers or not, as it is the [first year the Olympics will have a female competitor from each country][3]!

Take time wherever you happen to be and catch this and other televised events of the Olympics during your travels by car hire.  You can reserve a cheap car hire from CarHireX.com to attend your favorite sporting event this year, featuring pregnant Olympians or not.
