**Jodie Grinham Makes History as First Pregnant Athlete to Win a Paralympic Medal**

British archer Jodie Grinham made history by becoming the first athlete to win a Paralympic medal while pregnant. She won a bronze medal in the women's individual compound open on Saturday, despite being seven months pregnant. Competing while pregnant brought special challenges for Grinham. She sometimes had to ask her baby to stop kicking so she could focus on her shots. "The baby’s kicking which is great, but during the third round, I was like, 'Not right now, we’ll do kickies in a minute,'" she said after the competition. Grinham said it felt special to have her baby with her during the event. She felt the baby was like a little support inside her.

After halftime, Liverpool continued to dominate, and Salah scored a third goal 11 minutes into the second half. Liverpool didn't score any more goals but still maintained a perfect winning record this season under their new coach, Arne Slot.
