US Olympic marathoner Alysia Montano competed in the 800 meter race at an international competition this week and finished the race in 2 minutes and 32 seconds…while 34 weeks pregnant!

The dynamic athlete, known for running with a bright flower in her hair and nicknamed “the flying flower”, got the okay from her doctors to compete. 

Even though the 5-time did not win and came in last while representing the U.S. at the competition at the Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California, she told reporters, she felt “really good.”

The crowd gave her a standing ovation when she came in at a time that most people would struggle to run at that pace. 

“I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process,” she said. 

When not preggers, Montano rocks the typical rock solid 6-pack of track athletes. 

This would be the first child for Montano and her husband since 2011 Louis. 

Amazing but definitely not for novices.
