Ruqaya

Mabrook to Sr. Ruqaya. 

In Round 1 of the 200m, she ran 22.81.  3 women ran faster than her.

 In Round 2, she ran 22.76.  5 women ran faster than her.

The semi finals are scheduled for Wednesday.

I can’t seem to find anything solid.  about her best time in the 200.  According to her website it’s 23.19.  According to this french website, she ran 22.65 in Rome in July.  inshaAllah she can continue to push it, since the fastest time in Round 2 was 22.60.  She was the fastest in both her heats, so maybe if she’s running against faster women, it will push her faster.

Just a few bones I’ve got to pick with the caption people here.

 Hello?  Um, no she’s makin sajdah.

And this?  This is called dua.

Her hijab looks different this time around.  I believe it’s ahiida’s hijood, which is confirmed via good ol Sheikh Google - Bahrain athlete to run in Aussie-designed hijab.  I hope this is a sign that ahiida is going to launch their athletic line soon.  It’s been on the website for years, but I think with the success of the burqini, it’s been pushed to the back burner.  I emailed the sister about it a few years ago, and she sent me a really spiffy little marketing picture with the sports clothes, but I haven’t heard anything since.
