Asking for paternity leave in the world of sport may come as a surprise, but it is the decision taken by Timoci Nagusa, professional rugby player in Grenoble.
The athlete has a month ahead of him to take full care of his two children: “I have a first daughter who is 13 months old, she is still a baby, and now I have a second.
After seeing what my wife went through with the first baby, I want to be there for her this time.
"
Timoci has decided to fully take on his role as a father, despite the disapproval of some sports players: “I'm sure a lot of dads who are professional athletes would like to take this leave, but haven't had this chance yet.
In due course, I'm sure it will become the norm.
I'm just the first.
