Nawal el Moutakawel, 49, won the 400m hurdles race in 1984 in Los Angeles, becoming the first Muslim woman to earn a gold medal at the Olympic Games. She was also the first Muslim woman to be elected to the International Olympic Committee, in 1997. She won the Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.
She currently serves on the International Olympic Committee and is leading the Committee delegation to Rio, for 2016 preparations.
Moutawakel is one of the Top Ten Female Muslim Athletes, past and present.
