The Australian Olympic Committee have congratulated dual Olympian track sprinter Kimia Yousofi, now based in Australia, on her selection in the Afghanistan team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Kimia, who was Afghanistan's Flag Bearer at Tokyo 2020, was one of five athletes and administrators plus families, who received safe passage into Australia in 2022.
The AOC and International Olympic Committee worked with a range of parties, including successive federal government administrations, to assist the endangered athletes following the Taliban takeover in their home country.
