Thank you for sharing, an exceptional story.
Afghani women are (without exception) stoic and calm and intelligent and... I'm teaching one at present, having taught many over the last 10 years. She is wonderful.

cyclingtips also has the story with a link to the short doc on youtube about those girls from 6 years ago.
Amazing story. Amazing courage. I'm mostly happy (but also...) to see that she is studying in Lille and doesn't have to risk her life to ride her bike. https://cyclingtips.com/2021/07/firs...olympic-dream/
