IOC: Russia and Belarus must be banned.
Also IOC: Saying Free Afghan women is a political statement.

Its such a shame she was disqualified for showing FREE AFGHAN WOMEN.

Seriously IOC shouldn't have done that.

So proud of you. Hope one day Afghanistan is free of Taliban rule.

[d.g.]

I look forward to seeing you in Paris Manizha. I'm happy you found a way to still fulfill your dream

Olympic Organizers sabotaged the Breakdancing event. Utter disrespect from France and the Olympic Committee.
Brought some beginners to compete in Olympics. 2 out of top 16 cannot even do a coffee grinder

[shahlalatif]

I am Afghan, she doesn’t speak Farsi, FAKE clip!

[shaki]

How did she even qualify to be there? I think we all know why she is there. Because she has made up a story she flees Taliban she is blah blah. That’s how u can trust the Olympic

UPDATE: 10AUG24 - "Afghan refugee athlete disqualified from Olympic breakdancing event". Thank god there ARE some rules that are not allowed to be broken.

"Talash displayed the words ‘Free Afghan Women’ on her cape during her routine in the competition’s pre-qualifiers on Friday."

Political slogans and statements are banned on the field of play and on podiums at the Olympics.

End of story.
