The world of sport and fitness was punctuated by the controversy of the use of hijab in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games last. A decision of clothing that was considered for many macho, facing the uniform that seemed bikinis of others selections. This summer Europe has also seen the case of the Burkini monopolized both headlines and stories in media around the world. Even its creator came out in his defense.
We started the week with news that will change the sector of the worldwide fitness magazines. Women s Running Magazine magazine presents its first cover girl or cover with hijab girl. A cover page that has already given a lot to talk about because of the appearance of its protagonist, the runner Rahaf Khatib. This athlete in 32 years and mother of 3 sons participated in marathons and triathlons in many countries, proving that there are no limits.
Currently lives in the United States, and is the creator of the project Run Like a Dubaipretty, which wants to encourage other Muslim women like her to live his passion for running without feeling embarrassed by this. The own athlete acknowledges that his beginnings as a runner with hijab were not easy, but he soon found an ecosystem tolerant with their type of dress and religious beliefs. Increasingly there are more Muslim women committed to devote himself to the world of sport or practice fitness without renouncing to the hijab.
The world of fitness always has accustomed us to images of women turned and scantily, but there are women who prefer more blocked as it is the case of Rahaf Khatib. This athlete is one of Muslim women most popular sector in the running, and is clear that still remains a long way to go to see more women in hijab starring magazine covers.
