The Olympics

Beyond making me want to get into better shape, the Olympics are a great example of female strength. Just look at this woman, the first to represent Saudi Arabia in the Olympics. I can't even imagine the stigma that comes with being an Olympian in the US as a woman, but just try to think about the hoops this woman had to jump through to get where she is. Further, she's competing fully covered in clothes, I am sure that extra weight/wind resistance takes a couple microseconds off of her race speed.



Good job! I think countries are beginning to see that women around the world are able to do what they want to do if they work hard for it! It will take a few more leaps and bounds, but eventually we will get there. I know I'm not the only woman standing behind you, Sarah Attar, good job and good luck in everything else you do. Keep running!
