Paris Olympics: Afghan B-Girl Manizha Talash Disqualified For "Free Afghan Women" Protest
Girl Manizha Talash: Afghan B-Girl Manizha Talash, a member of the Refugee Olympic Team at the Paris 2024 Games, was disqualified after displaying the words "Free Afghan Women" on her cape during her breaking routine in the competition's pre-qualifiers on Friday.
Talash, who resides in Spain, took to the floor with a powerful message, wearing a light blue cape emblazoned with the words "Free Afghan Women" in large white letters. The 21-year-old's protest was aimed at drawing global attention to the plight of women under Taliban rule in her homeland.
However, her routine against India Sardjoe of the Netherlands ended in controversy when breaking's governing body, the World DanceSport Federation, announced her disqualification for violating Olympic rules prohibiting political statements on the field of play.
