Long story short the 21-year-old Iranian native, had to flee her nation over the awful way the women of her nation were being treated. She and her husband have found refuge in Germany, where she hopes to become a citizen in the future so she can represent them in the 2024 Olympics in Sydney. For now, she is representing the Refugee Team in the 2021 Olympic Games and she just upset the two-time Olympic Taekwondo Champion Jade Jones 16-12.
