“My story is being a European medalist and an Olympic bronze medalist in basketball… while being pregnant.
This story is that of French basketball player Valériane Vukosavljevic.
She revealed her pregnancy to her teammates and the media after the competition: “I didn't want behavior to change.
I didn't want people on the ground to be able to act differently, one way or another.
"
She made the choice not to wait until the end of her career to have a child, unlike many top athletes.
According to the player, mentalities are changing and competition and pregnancy are not incompatible: “We have more and more women who have positions of responsibility in our federations, and I think that is very important.
They know that a woman wants to be a mother.
They also know what the practice of high level sport is.
They know the two are compatible, but not to the end.
