	Description:		Afghan Tae Kwon Do champion Marzieh Hamidi’s hard road to the Paris Olympics A sport that involved kicking and punching was a natural fit for this Olympian-to-be, who spent her teens fending off men on the streets of Kabul. At just 22, Marzieh has had to be a fighter in most aspects of her life. As she gets ready to represent the Refugee Team at this year's Paris Olympics, she tells the full story of her and her family's remarkable quest for freedom for the first time.
