gymnastics in Iran

IRANIAN junior gymnasts will be competing in both Artistic and Rhythmic gymnastics competition in Malaysia from Sept 24 to 27.

As you can imagine, it can be a cultural dilemma to have female athletes from Islamic countries wear the required leotards.

In fact, some Iranian female athletes have fled the country in order to further their sport training. Perhaps that’s only part of the reason they leave. Improving their economic prospects is likely just as important to them.
