It's not easy making history at the Commonwealth Games -- and it doesn't get any less complicated if you're looking after a baby at the same time, as Vanuatu beach volleyball player Miller Pata has found.
While most athletes have ice baths and massages after games, it's more likely to be nappy changes and baby feeds for Pata, who nevertheless won bronze with her team-mate Linline Matauatu on Thursday.
Pata hoisted seven-month-old Tommy in the air and placed her medal around his neck after the win over Cyprus which handed Vanuatu, a remote Pacific archipelago, its first ever Commonwealth Games medal.
The team-mates haven't had it easy: they have had to organise their own accommodation, babysitting, meals and physiotherapy, after being told Pata couldn't stay with her baby at the athletes' village.
It remains an unusual situation in elite sport, but it could become more common as an increasing number of women return to competition after childbirth, including tennis world number one Serena Williams.
Pata was back in training just two months after having Tommy, and she said one of the biggest challenges was eating properly to maintain her energy.
"(My energy levels) were different but I managed my food and everything, so I could get back on to my normal routine," the 29-year-old told AFP.
Pata isn't the only new mum at the Commonwealth Games: two-time Olympic shot put champion Valerie Adams had her first baby in October, and Australian race-walker Claire Tallent has an 11-month-old son.
Vanuatu coach Shanon Zunker said Pata had been "short-changed" by being refused permission to stay in the village, which has physiotherapy and massage services and all dietary needs catered for.
"Given the stage that they are on, I think it would be nice if they had access to all those things," Zunker said.
"When Tommy has (visited) the village grounds, (athletes) are pretty excited to meet him... so I think I few extra smiles around the place would not have gone astray," he added.
- The next generation -
=======================
"We haven't had any complaints and we've made provisions to allow the baby access to allow the mother to engage with the child on our day-pass system."
"They are saying 'just because a woman can give birth it doesn't mean she is any more fragile or weak than anyone else."
