Description
Saudi taekwondo standout Donia Abu Taleb had an unusual introduction to the sport: for years she trained at a boys' club because there were no girls to compete with. Now the 27-year-old has become the first Saudi woman to qualify for the Olympics and is dreaming of bringing home the Gulf kingdom's first gold medal when she competes in Paris. "This is a challenge for me, as the first Saudi woman to qualify for the Olympics... I've reached the point where I must achieve something," she says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
