The 36-year-old also answered a few questions she was likely to face. <\/p>\n
Carrington said she would not be finding out the sex of the baby, the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028 remain her competitive goal, and she still planned to race in the World Cups in Europe in May but would not be racing at the 2026 World Champs or for the rest of the year. <\/p>\n
\u201cPregnancy so far has been a real learning curve – but feeling very lucky and very excited for what\u2019s to come.\u201d <\/p>\n
Carrington swept her three events at the Paris Olympics in 2024, bringing her gold medal count to eight, with wins in the K-1 500m, K-2 500m and K-4 500m. Overall, Carrington is a nine-time Olympic medallist, with a bronze in the K-1 500m in Rio in 2016. <\/p>\n
In 2024, Carrington achieved a career-first with gold in the K-4 500m alongside Alicia Hoskin, Olivia Brett and Tara Vaughan. The gold was Carrington\u2019s first Olympic medal in the discipline.<\/p>\n
Carrington made her Olympic debut back in London in 2012, claiming gold in the K-1 200m. She followed that up with gold in the same event in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, as well as a bronze in the K-1 500m.<\/p>\n
In Tokyo, she claimed three golds \u2013 winning the K-1 200m, K-1 500m and K-2 500m, paddling with Caitlin Regal in the latter.<\/p>\n
While the K-1 200m was not contested in Paris, Carrington still came away with three golds: the K-1 500m, K-2 500m with Alicia Hoskin, and the K-4 500m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 36-year-old also answered a few questions she was likely to face.
