Women redefining possibility through sport
Loved this - two inspiring women at the Emirates Festival showed how sport can reshape identity and possibilities. Emirati para dressage rider Fatima Al Bluoshi, born with spina bifida, trained seriously from 21, earned FEI Grade III and is eyeing the 2028 Paralympics; riding gives her energy, focus and healing. Jessica Smith, born missing part of her left arm, found confidence and purpose through swimming and now advocates for accessibility and choice. Powerful reminders that sport restores the body and soul and lets people define themselves on their own terms.
