Canadian women’s basketball player Kim Gaucher is preparing for the Tokyo Olympics on two fronts: as a member of the team representing her country, and fighting a currently losing battle to bring her three- month-old daughter, whom Gaucher is breastfeeding, with her to the Games in the face of an Olympics organizers’ edict barring athletes being accompanied by family members due to COVID.
Gaucher expressed her frustrations on her Instagram page last week. Quoting her post:
Hey, I’m Kim. This is Sophie. All I’ve ever wanted out of my basketball career has been to rep Canada at the Olympics. Last year my teammates and I qualified for Tokyo. But right now I’m being forced to decide between being a breastfeeding mom or an Olympic athlete. I can’t have them both.
