US volleyball star back for 3rd Olympics after giving birth

United States' Foluke Akinradewo Gunderson reacts during a training session with the volleyball team at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Thursday, July 22, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. A third trip to the Olympics was far from a sure thing for Gunderson when she gave birth to her first son in November 2019. But Gunderson had set a goal of being both a mother and professional athlete and took advantage of the delayed Olympics to make it back again this year in search of that elusive gold medal.
