NEW DELHI: Manizha Talash, a 21-year-old Afghan break-dancer, embodies the spirit of human resilience that the Olympics celebrate. In 2021, she fled Afghanistan after the Taliban's takeover, crossing the border into Pakistan before finding refuge in Spain the following year.
Despite the challenges she faced, Talash never gave up on her passion for break-dancing, which she discovered as a teenager in Kabul while scrolling through social media. Little did she know that this hobby, pursued in her troubled homeland, would lead her to the world's biggest sporting event.
