News summary

Kimia Yousofi, Afghanistan's sole female representative at the Olympics, highlights the plight of Afghan women by wearing a bib that reads 'Eduction' and 'Our Rights' during her 100-meter race in Paris. Since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, Afghanistan has become the most repressive country for women and girls, stripping them of basic rights, including education and sports. Yousofi, who finished last with a time of 13.42 seconds, emphasizes her role as a voice for Afghan girls who cannot speak out, stating, 'I can talk with media' about their desires for rights, education, and sports. Born in Iran to Afghan parents who fled the Taliban, she has participated in three Olympic Games and currently resides in Australia after escaping the Taliban regime. Despite the challenges, she and other athletes continue to represent Afghanistan, carrying the former national flag in the face of oppression. However, some, including former Olympian Friba Rezayee, argue that the Afghan team should not be allowed to compete under the Taliban's influence, advocating for their participation solely as refugees.
