There's definitely a glow about Olympic gold medal contender Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, who is three months pregnant.TARA WALTON/TORONTO STARPriscilla Lopes-Schliep has a hurdle she didn’t expect in her drive to win Olympic gold at the 2012 London Games — she’s pregnant.
The No. 1-ranked 100-metre hurdler in the world shared the news with the Star in an exclusive interview Thursday before a light workout at the Toronto Track and Field Centre at York University. She’s not really showing yet at three months — her prodigious stomach muscles still ripple — but there is definitely a glow about her.
She also remains a steely competitor. She’s made an incredible climb in establishing herself as one of Canada’s best hopes for London, winning Olympic bronze in 2008, world championship silver in 2009 and seizing the No. 1 world ranking last year.
The 28-year-old is determined to reclaim that status after having her baby, which is due Sept. 23. She’s told her agent, Kris Mychasiw, to buy tickets for her family for the 100-metre hurdles final in London on Aug. 7.
