The Refugee Olympic Team: Representing hope for over 100 million worldwide
When Manizha Talash first saw a video online of an upside-down man spinning with his head on the ground, she decided she wanted to do that too. As a girl in Afghanistan, however, it was a difficult dream to bring to reality. But she found a way. In the Paris Olympics 2024, she will be participating in the new sport of “breaking”, a competitive form of breakdancing that blends artistry and dance with acrobatic moves.
