Alex Morgan truly is a superhero … the USA soccer superstar says she’s still planning to play in the 2020 Olympics — just months after she has her baby!!!
The 30-year-old striker announced last month she’s having a baby girl with her husband, LA Galaxy stud Servando Carrasco … and the due date is April 2020.
Of course, next year’s summer Olympics are scheduled to kick off in Tokyo just weeks after that … with opening ceremonies slated for July 24.
For all you non-math whizzes out there … that’s just about 3 months!!!
But, in an interview with USA TODAY Sports earlier this week … Morgan says she’s gunning to get back on the pitch with her American teammates despite that tiny time frame.
“After having a healthy baby, I want to get back with the national team and look forward to playing in Tokyo,” Morgan said.
It’s not exactly unprecedented … her fellow Team USA squadmate, Sydney Leroux, returned to the field in September for her NWSL team just 3 months after she had her baby earlier this year.
In other sports, it’s been done too … remember, Mackenzie Dern straight-up fought in the UFC just 4 months after she gave birth!!
So, good luck repeating that feat, Alex … the whole country’s pullin’ for ya!!!
