Chest-covering friniggi sports hijabs

BEST FEATURE: COVERS CHEST
How? It's specialised cut allows it to drape over the chest while fitting snugly around the head, without being overly tight. This limits unnecessary movement of the sports hijab when you move. But still covers you the way you want it too.

See how far things travel on the internet

Three years ago I got involved in the PINK HIJAB DAY campaign and started the first campaign of its kind in Botswana.

There was an article written in the local paper at that time. Little did I know it was picked up in United Kingdom and published in The Muslim Weekly, a newspaper for Muslims in that area. Due to other obligations (such as this sportswear brand *guilty face*) I could no longer give enough time to PHD and tried to hand it over to more capable individuals. Surprise, surprise, no one wanted the job.. It's no longer held in Botswana. But that year we raised and donated over P22000 to the Cancer Association of Botswana.

I hope to do similar things with Muslim Women Sports Development insha Allah.
See it on their site: http://www.themuslimweekly.com/DetailView.aspx?NEWSID=TW00013880
I like how good news spreads around the world. I just wish good news would be reported more on the prime time news too.

friniggi singlet vs kulsoom singlet

I posted a new photo to KulsoomWWC2011/friniggisingletvskulsoomssinglet.

I've been working on a singlet for Kulsoom to wear at all competitions. The most recent singlet was the one I developed for worlds (emerald green singlet on left)
I was pretty proud of it, being the first performance sportswear developed under the friniggi brand for a specific sport, in this case weightlifting. THe rest of our performance sportswear is more for general purpose workout-wear.
For whatever reason, Kulsoom decided not to wear the friniggi singlet. And instead went with her own (dark green singlet on the right).
Disappointed as I was, I knew it was important for her to wear something she felt comfortable in, and for some reason the friniggi singlet didn't do it for her.
When I saw the pics of her WWC singlet, I was glad to see that the dark green singlet had improved from the black Nationals singlet she wore the first time after IWF changed regulations in July 2011.
I was also glad to see that some of the friniggi design elements also featured in Kulsoom's singlet:
- The vertical seam down from the neck to the crotch (An important design element that pulls the rest of the design features together)
- Straight cut from underarms to leg cuff (For more modesty - the Nationals singlet was sort of shapely on the waist and hips. The vertical seam helps to achieve this too)
- Lower crotch (For more modesty when squatting during lifts)

Kulsoom Abdullah WWC 2011 experience

I posted a new photo (plus more!!) to KulsoomWWC2011.

I posted a new photo to muslimsportswomen.

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.
