American swimmer Ryan Murphy, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, had a heartwarming surprise after winning a bronze medal in the men’s 100-meter backstroke event on Monday. As he stood on the podium, Murphy's wife, Bridget Konttinen, revealed to him the gender of their upcoming child with a sign that read, “Ryan, it’s a girl.” This unexpected announcement caught Murphy off guard, as it was the first time he learned about the gender.
Murphy shared that both he and his wife had anticipated having a boy, and even those they had spoken to had the same prediction. The revelation brought joy and excitement to the couple as they prepare to welcome a baby girl into their lives.
Despite the emotional moment, Murphy remains focused on his athletic pursuits. He is set to compete in the 200-meter backstroke event on Wednesday, a discipline in which he has previously achieved both gold and silver medals. With his determination and talent, Murphy aims to continue his success in the pool and make his country proud.
