@MHSN Any media attention in Iran about Sadaf Khadem? I read she became the first Iranian woman ever to compete in boxing this week (in France), but now has cancelled her trip back to Iran........because she'd be arrested there either for boxing or for boxing without hijab  (of course that's what media here is reporting, I'm hoping there's some nuance to this..)

this is 99% nonsense (I can't say 100% but in Iran you never can be really sure) she is just someone desperate for attention.

 

not much media attention about her inside Iran, (of course Persian media outside of Iran as usual take these kind of news seriously) because nobody knew her at all until few days ago. just some announcement denying that bold part . of course she can't be representing the IR Iran without Hejab but doing something "without Hejab in another country" is not illegal and she won't have any problem traveling back to Iran. but of course she has other reasons spreading such news. we will see her getting French citizenship (or somewhere else) soon just because of that. and after that she will travel back to Iran happily to see her family that's usually the plan.

Thanks. Well, true or not, I do like seeing a woman from Iran starting to compete in a 'new sport', so there's that

I assume there are lots of Iranian-born athletes representing other countries in those new sport. that doesn't count to me. like this one. you can say Iranian women competing when they represent Iran and be recognized by Iranian federation. btw there are talks about starting women's boxing in Iran though and they were talking with AIBA for a dress code for that. even though considering current huge budget cut, I assume our boxing federation postponed those plans for now.
