A certain section of athletes getting ready for the upcoming Pan American Games find their focus is constantly being pulled in different directions. They are mothers and they have the dual responsibility of practicing their sport and taking care of their children.
Belen Casetta holds her four-month-old daughter Lina at home in Pilar, Argentina, Monday, Oct. 9, 2023. Casetta will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Pan American Games in Chile and will take her daughter with her to the games. Brazilian diver Giovanna Pedroso plays with her one-year-old son Nicolas Pedroso at her home in the Chacara do Ceu favela of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023.
The 24-year-old Pedroso, a Pan Am Games silver medalist eight years ago in Toronto, said she hasn’t been able to focus 100% on her sport since her son was born last year. “Sometimes I wake up and don’t want to leave my bed. I cry in the middle of the night, too. It is tough, but it feels special to overcome all of this and still qualify for the Pan Am Games in the only shot I had.”
Belén Casetta, a 29-year-old Argentine runner, will be in Chile to compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. A Pan American Games bronze medalist in Lima four years ago, she lives in a condo outside Buenos Aires with her 4-month-old daughter, Lina. “We could not go that high because Lina is too small, her pediatrician did not recommend it,” Casetta said.
Kiejko said she managed to bring at least one of her two older kids to competitions in years past, but things have changed.
