SINGAPORE: Singaporean paddler Li Jiawei is pregnant.
The 27-year-old revealed this to Singapore media on Tuesday after informing the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA).
Li and her businessman husband Li Chao threw a lavish wedding in Beijing last Saturday. The couple met through a mutual friend and registered their marriage in the Chinese capital on September 26 after a six-month romance.
The star paddler, who won Singapore a silver medal at the recent Beijing Olympics, had agreed with the STTA on a family planning pact last month.
Under it, she must have a baby by the end of next year, or wait till the 2012 Olympics are over, so that she can recover in time for the next Olympics.
Li could not be reached in Beijing, but STTA President Lee Bee Wah confirmed the pregnancy.
Madam Lee added that after the Beijing Olympics, the paddler had told her that she would like to give birth to her child in Singapore and that Li's mother would help care for the baby.
