Incredible Photos: Check Out 8-Months Pregnant Woman Running 800 Metres Race

Daily Mail reports that Montano, who has won the 800 national titles in the past four years, finished in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds in the qualifying rounds, only seven weeks before she’s scheduled to give birth to her first child.

That the 28-year-old former University of California star finished last in her preliminary heat, didn’t matter one bit to the crowd gathered at the Stadium as she received a rousing ovation after finishing her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line.

She took a nice relaxed pace from the start and maintained it throughout.

Alysia who is a first-time mom told reporters that she had been cleared by her doctor and midwife who gave the go-ahead to run.

"I’ve been running throughout my entire pregnancy and I’ve felt really, really good during the whole process.

"That took away any fear of what the outside world might think about a woman running during her pregnancy," Montano said.
