Two thoughts crossed my mind: She has to be dedicated to insist on devotion to the dictates of modesty as well as to her sport; and she's a role model for Muslim girls and young women, showing that if you want something badly enough, you'll find a way. It was also refreshing after seeing the beach volleyball players who I have a problem taking seriously playing out there in the glaring sun in their swimsuits. Good going, Al Ghasra.
