Abdul Sadiq, an Afghanistan's only professional cyclist, began by training his
daughter. And when she competed successfully abroad, he set up the team. It is
the world's most unlikely sporting team, because the sport breaks taboos in a country where in many traditional communities, women are not allowed out
of the house.
The head coach faces frequent threats and the girls' families do not always
approve "If it's not their fathers trying to stop them, it's a brother or
uncle."
Two members of the team, Massouma, 18, and Zarab, 17, are sisters. Their father
and their brothers approve, but they know that their uncles complain to their
father. "They will never come in front of us to say ‘Why are you
cycling?', but they say bad words to our father," she said. His team have,
however, competed and won regionally against Bangladesh and Pakistan.
"We want to go cycling because we want to be heroes one day," said
16-year-old Jella, one of the latest riders. In one of the mildest and driest
winters for many years, training has gone on without stopping. And next spring,
the girls will go up into the mountains. "We say that women should not sit
at home, they need to come out and do sports," said Abdul Sadiq, And 18-
year-old Zainab said she wished that she could just go cycling alone on the street
one day. "It's my ambition, and I hope that one day girls will be allowed
to go cycling on the streets, not having a coach, or anyone with them, and they
will not have problems," she said.
