Pregnant surfer


Portuguese Olympics windsurfer Carolina Borges quit the Games because she was pregnant, coachless and lacked the necessary support from Portugal's mission, the athlete has told a sports newspaper. Borges astonished Portuguese officials on Tuesday by quitting via an e-mail that cited personal and medical reasons but did not elaborate. "I am three months pregnant," Borges told daily A Bola. "I am saddened, (but) imagine if I broke something while I am pregnant, how would it be? I never got any subsidies or moral support. I went ahead with the decision to quit because I lacked support," she said.
