If you hadn’t already guessed that the International Olympic Committee isn’t in Kansas any more, let alone Lausanne, there was a clue coming right up in the opening moments.Talash, who was born in Kabul but now lives in Madrid, and who was competing for the IOC’s refugee team, ripped off her top midway through the opening battle to reveal a brilliant blue cape with “Free Afghan Women” written in bright white letters across the back.

Talash didn’t make it through to the round-robin stage, but she had already said and done plenty for her sport in that one viral moment. Continue reading…
