28-year-old Olympian, Alysia Montano received a standing ovation after completing an 800m running race at the Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California on Thursday, June 26.
Alysia, a five-time U.S. national champion who was 34-weeks pregnant completed the race in 2 minutes, 32.13 secons. She said: I've been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the process.
Her
finishing time was 35 seconds slower than her personal best of 1:57.34,
which she smashed back in 2010 in a race in Monaco, but is still a time
many recreational runners wouldn't be able to achieve.
Doctors gave Montano the OK to take part in the race and she hopes it dispels misconceptions over exercise and pregnancy.
