Noora Naraghi already made head news in Iran and world wide when she
decided to go against her country laws and create the first ever women
motocross championship in Iran. The race was held last year at the
club that Noora and her family own, and despite the skepticism from
most of the people, it was an incredible success. 8 women participants
(one of them being Noora’s mom) competed in a 5 laps race and opened
eyes to all Iranian people presents. The racers were cover from head
to toe, as per Iranian law, but that didn’t discourage them to give it
their best. Noora says: “we have to wear our “hejab” everyday so it
was no different for us, just another day” Noora wants to be a
motocross racer, she was granted by her husband a permission to travel
to the US and train from one of the world best.
