Olympic bronze medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep has announced that there will be some hiccups – and possibly some cravings – in her training for the 2012 Olympics. In an interview with the Toronto Star, the 28-year old hurdler announced that she and husband Bronson Schliep are having a baby.
Don’t think this means she’ll be slacking off, however. While her training has been adjusted for the pregnancy, she still plans to go for the Gold in London. The baby is due on September 23, and according to her coach, Anthony McCleary, as long as there are no complications, she should have plenty of time to train.
Lopes-Schliep told the Star: “I love a challenge. It will give me something to dig that much deeper for. I’ll have that little person I’m trying to be a good role model to.”
