The 31-year-old archer is expecting her second child later this year, and is already a mother to her infant son Christian, according to BBC. The outlet reported that Grinham was nearly forced out of the competition because of a health scare last week, which landed her in a Paris hospital for a check-up.
“The idea was to show that nothing is impossible and to go out there and smash it,” Grinham told BBC.
