  1. The term forced to withdraw is used inappropriately because she’s still allowed to compete right throughout her pregnancy. The choice is hers if and when she chooses to.
    Alyssa Montano from the usa is a prime example. She ran competitively up until her their trimester.

  2. Say forced…get it right…I sure no athletes were ever forced to start they family🤫…..Congratulations Shanuea 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🥰🥰🥰🥰🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸

  3. Forced?! Do we not think these world-class athletes at times engage in family-planning or embrace surprises like these?
    Congrats to the couple!!

  4. Dashwud-Piscesplantain Oliver Gordon-Palmer that could be the only reasonable explanation, in the absence of the writer knowing how to construct a proper sentence
