Olympic Hero

Sprinter Robina Muqimyar does not have a qualified trainer, she has no sponsor, she comes from a country ruined by war and she grew up under hardline Islamist rulers who would not brook girls playing sport.

There is not a single proper running track in the whole country and athletes in Kabul train at a sports stadium where the Taliban used to hold public executions. Her teammates include two taekwondo competitors and a men's 100 metres runner.
