I want to know how you managed to win your first race and how you became the first woman to win gold medals. I love you very much, Nawal, and I wish to be like you.

I am so proud of the runner Zhor Kamch who best represented the city of Tiflet in all competitions. I also wish to be like her because I love her and train in the same club at Widad Tiflet.
