Ana Peleteiro shares sad news about the loss of her baby

The outstanding Spanish athlete Ana Peleteiro, recognized for her European championship in triple jump and her bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, has announced painful news. Through her social media, Peleteiro reported the loss of the child she was expecting with her partner, the Frenchman Benjamin Compaoré.

Today we have had to go through one of the most bittersweet moments of our lives, but we face it strong and more united than ever

In her post, the athlete explained that, after a medical check-up, she was informed that the heartbeat of her future baby, who would be her second child, was no longer detected. Peleteiro shared his feelings about this unexpected situation, describing the impact of the news:

Guys, I’m so sorry, but despite having normal growth, we don’t have a heartbeat. Those are probably the words you never want to hear, and even less so when it seemed like everything was going well after hearing the heartbeat in week 7 and feeling how it was growing little by little every day without any kind of problem

The athlete assumes she will face a difficult and painful process, but she is optimistic and determined to overcome this moment. She concludes by expressing her faith and hope:

From today we have one more little angel in heaven who watches over us and will protect us for the rest of our lives
