US tennis player and mother Lindsay Davenport. Trying to be a mother and a champion

Trying to be a mother and a champion Olympian simultaneously is a tough task, but the Beijing Games has its fair share of mums juggling their duties.

Some of the better-known include British marathon runner Paula Radcliffe, American tennis star Lindsay Davenport, and Japan's seven-time world judo champion Ryoko Tani.

But there are plenty more changing nappies one minute and training the next.

Italian fencer Valentina Vezzali hasn't let having a child get in her way of being the best in the world, making Olympics history here by becoming the first person to win three successive individual titles with victory in the foil.

She did it for her son.

"My son asked me for a medal, but he didn't ask for a particular one," she said. "Here it is."

Judoka Xian Dongmei put family matters on hold to achieve her Olympic dream, and now she is China's first gold-medal mum, she can't wait to return home.

"I miss my child so much," said Xian who defended her women's -52kg title.

"After the Olympics I will go back home quickly and make up for the love I have missed."

Xian gave birth to daughter Liu Jiahui in January last year, had been criticised in local media as "cold-hearted" for giving up feeding her baby after seven months to focus on her Olympic build up.

They are not the first supermums to win a medal after going through labour.

Ethiopia's Derartu Tulu, the 10,000-metre Olympic gold medalist in 1992, won the title again in 2000 two years after giving birth to a daughter.

And Australia's Jana Rawlinson, missing from Beijing due to injury, famously regained her 400-metre hurdles world title last year just eights months after having a baby.

Davenport, 32, is another. She is one of a handful of mothers still playing on the WTA Tour, returning last year after giving birth to Jagger with the specific goal of playing the Olympics.

Sadly for her, injury has forced cut short her singles dream, but the doubles remain on her radar.

又當(dāng)媽媽又當(dāng)奧運(yùn)冠軍并不是件容易的事，但在北京奧運(yùn)會上，有這樣一些媽媽級運(yùn)動員們兩件事都沒有耽誤。

英國馬拉松運(yùn)動員寶拉?拉德克里夫、美國網(wǎng)球明星林賽?達(dá)文波特以及七屆世界柔道冠軍、日本的谷亮子等都是她們當(dāng)中比較有名的人物。

但是像他們一樣前一分鐘還在忙著換尿布，下一刻就得去訓(xùn)練的運(yùn)動員還有很多。

意大利擊劍選手瓦倫蒂娜?韋扎利并沒有因為孩子的出世而停下邁向世界冠軍的腳步，她成為奧運(yùn)歷史上首位連續(xù)三次奪得該項比賽個人冠軍的運(yùn)動員。

她這樣做都是為了她的兒子。

她說：“我兒子問我要一枚獎牌，不過他并沒有說具體要哪一塊。就這塊好了。”

柔道運(yùn)動員冼東妹為了她的奧運(yùn)夢想把家庭放在了一邊，如今，她成了中國第一個冠軍媽媽，她已經(jīng)迫不急待要回家了。

成功衛(wèi)冕柔道52公斤級冠軍的冼東妹說：“我太想念我的孩子了！”

“奧運(yùn)會之后我要馬上回家，好好補(bǔ)償她。”

冼東妹在2007年1月生下女兒劉佳慧，七個月后她便給女兒斷奶以集中備戰(zhàn)奧運(yùn)。為此，當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w曾批評她太“冷血”。

不過，她們可并不是第一代產(chǎn)后拿獎牌的超級媽媽。

1992年奧運(yùn)會女子10000米金牌得主埃塞俄比亞運(yùn)動員德拉爾圖?圖盧在2000年再次獲得該項目冠軍時，她的女兒只有2歲。

因傷未能參加北京奧運(yùn)會的澳大利亞運(yùn)動員加娜?羅林森在去年重獲400米欄世界冠軍時剛剛生完孩子八個月。

還有32歲的達(dá)文波特。她是為數(shù)不多至今還活躍在女子網(wǎng)球聯(lián)合會巡回賽賽場上的媽媽選手之一，她在去年生下兒子賈格爾，之后專門為參加奧運(yùn)會而復(fù)出。

不幸的是，她的單打冠軍之夢因傷而破滅了，但是，她仍然會竭力備戰(zhàn)雙打比賽。
