Australian Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright has bizarrely revealed her son Flow ‘knew she was pregnant before she did’ as she announced she is expecting her third child.
Bright, 38, is best known for snaring gold in the women’s halfpipe snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Now a mother of two boys, the decorated snowboarder is busily preparing for baby number three.
‘The boys are already so in love,’ she posted via Instagram on Wednesday.
‘We are keeping the gender a surprise until birth, but I’m feeling a third boy.’
Next was Flow Bright’s left-field premonition.

‘Fun fact: Flow (eldest son) knew I was pregnant before I actually was,’ the post continued.
‘A whole month before I conceived, he was telling people I had a baby in my belly.
‘Maybe he already knows who this little soul is.
‘Every night, Halo (second child) falls asleep holding my belly – and every morning, he wakes up and kisses it.
‘Our hearts are expanding, and so is our family. ‘So grateful for this growing love.’
In 2021, Bright turned heads after sharing a photo showing her breastfeeding her 10-month-old son while performing a headstand.
The photo, posted to Facebook, sparked a fierce online debate – and the Olympic champion later expressed her regret at the polarising image.
At the time, the breastfeeding photo attracted thousands of comments, including one that read ‘now that’s a balanced meal’.

Another said: ‘Breastfeed anywhere, anytime’, while a third commentator wrote ‘What an awesome mama bear. Love her.’
But Bright was also criticised, with one commenting: ‘I’m not saying it’s not beautiful.
‘Breastfeeding is between a mum and a child. This is way too much. It’s not about handstands and seeing how that child could actually latch on for likes.’
‘Reading some of the comments make me sad,’ Bright later wrote in an Instagram story.
‘In my world, mother’s should be each other’s cheerleaders (it is hard enough).
‘Embrace our quirkiness and finding the joy in every sh***y thing that is motherhood.
‘We all do it differently, it is not wrong or right. Motherhood is pure.
‘I only now consider myself a wonder woman because I have joined the sacred club with you. Nothing but respect to all mothers.’
