'I felt my body was still capable': Meet the moms hoping to shine at the Olympics

With Team USA's Olympic trials around the corner, 100-meter hurdler Dawn Harper-Nelson has enlisted the help of a new assistant coach -- although not the kind you might expect.

Like other coaches, the new recruit will watch closely from the sidelines, shouting instructions as Harper-Nelson, a gold medalist at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, undertakes sprints and speed drills; the only difference is that this coach also happens to be her one-year-old daughter, who hasn't entirely grasped what's going on.
"Having her at the track is hilarious, tiresome and wonderful all in the same," Harper-Nelson tells CNN Sport.
Whether she's at the track or in the gym, her daughter, Harper, is often close by.
"It's funny the things she catches on to," Harper-Nelson adds. "She's playing with her toys that we bring out, you're not realizing how much she's really absorbing everything around her. She does a countdown: 'Three, two, one, go!' And she'll start running on her own."
Harper-Nelson, who also won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics on top of her gold in Beijing, announced her retirement from athletics in 2018, saying at the time that she wanted to start a family.
But after stepping away from the sport, the thought of returning kept running through her mind.
"I thought about it constantly -- that I still love to compete," she says. "I felt my body was still capable ... and I was thinking: 'I don't want my daughter to think that mommy had to give up on her other dreams for me.'"
Early on in her career, Harper-Nelson, 36, admits that her primary focus was always athletics; it never occurred to her that she could be a mom and an athlete at the same time.
"Throughout my career, I feel like there have been other opportunities, like TV things where I turned them down because I'm like: no, my focus is the Olympics, it's the Olympic year," she says.
"Now having a daughter, it is more on my plate than any TV show or anything could have added.
"I would have it no other way -- I love the stress and pressure that I put on myself ... I see her little face and see her smile and I'd do it all again."
'My life, my decision'
As she continues her preparation for the Olympic trials in June, and perhaps also the Olympics in Tokyo a month beyond that, Harper-Nelson hopes to inspire other moms not to give up on their sporting dreams.
She singles out Serena Williams as her own source of inspiration -- the 23-time grand slam winner having returned to tennis after the birth of her daughter, Olympia.
In terms of track and field athletes at this year's Games, Harper-Nelson could have company from fellow moms Allyson Felix, the most decorated athlete in US track and field history aiming to compete at her fifth straight Olympics, and Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 100m.
With her return to the hurdles, Harper-Nelson explains how she wants to defy the mindset that says "you don't have it after you have a child, physically," and "you just need to accept it, moms. You have a mom bod now."
"We can do it if we choose," she says. "It is my life. It is my decision. And so for me, I just feel like this go round (the Olympics) means so much more."
