Harassment, Threats Don't Slow Down Afghan Women's Cycling Team

In post-Taliban Afghanistan, women athletes still face frequent criticism and even violence from men who consider their behavior to be un-Islamic.

But that hasn't deterred them from training hard, competing abroad, and encouraging other young women to exercise their hard-won freedoms.
