Ruqaya won the medal in 200 metres contest during the ongoing Doha Asian games in Qatar.
She also won the bronze in 100 m race. She wore a full dress with only face and hands visible.
As a result, she got lot of attention in the media.
Al-Ghasara said that hijab doesn't hold her back, rather it helps her in movement.
She feels that the traditional attire [full length suit and head scarf] makes her confident.
Surely, her performance will encourage many Muslims girls towards sports.
Interestingly, a section has begun questioning why Sania Mirza can't wear hijab and be a world-beater.
And that I don't agree with. It's a matter of personal choice.
Isn't it!
If the sportswomen feel that Hijab is no obstruction, then it's fine. But its nobody's business to impose it on sportswomen.
