Anyone watching the track championships in Doha?

They're proudly pointing out when "a mom" wins a medal-- Allison Felix (10 months after giving birth) getting a gold, Fraser-Price winning her millionth sprint ... Nia Ali, after TWO babies, bringing her kids onto the course after she wins the gold at hurdles...
I'm loving it, because I remember when I was in high school and we weren't allowed to play full court basketball because running the whole length of a basketball court would injure our uterus.

(Really. That's what they told us.)

Go, GOLD-medal moms! You are tough!
