The 400m runner Salwa Eid Naser took a silver medal at the Youth
Olympics in 2014 wearing a hijab and a full body suit. Fast
forward to her incredible performance at the 2019 World Athletics
Championships – she wasn’t wearing a hijab but now has nine
tattoos and five piercings.

“I don’t really care what people think. It’s my life and I do
what I want.”
