Zahra Lari as a professional skater 

Muslim women all over the world are creating wonders and nothing seems to stop them. Zahra Lari is an incredible woman who has become the world’s first hijab-wearing professional figure-skater to compete internationally. Representing her country UAE, Zahra 22, debuted as a professional skater back in 2012 when she was only 17. She performed while adjusting her see-through outfits with opaque ones with a matching headscarf with it. Due to this sheer act of dressing-up differently, the competition judges subtracted marks. She soon vowed to change the rules of the Skating Union in a bid to get cultural diversity acknowledged across the board.
Lari is now working to change the International Skating Union rules to openly allow women to wear hijab on the ice.
