I'm so happy that these girls are brave enough to try. I would love to see them in the olympics one day.

Great story ... It reminds me of the Jamaica Bob Sled team that trained in Canada and competed in the Winter Olympics.

The whole world was rooting for them.

I'll do the same for the girls from Iran ... go girls go!

Thank You for all of your posts and support of these great role models for women in Iran and all Arab/Muslim Nations.

Please keep following their progress online at www.whitewaterracing.org

They need your support!
