What a wonderful story! I've not seen this reported anywhere else. It's fantastic that Afghans finally have something to rally around.
I saw photos a relative took during an Afghanistan deployment. It looked like the people have literally nothing but the dirt under their feet. I hope they can hold onto this win to rouse feelings of nationalism and unity among their people.

My husband and I taught English as a foreign language with USAID in Kabul in the early sixties, and were very impressed with the hospitality, the vigor, and the spirit of the Afghan people. Our students were highly motivated to learn, eager, and high spirited. The Afghan people need and appreciate all the help and support we can give them, and we are delighted Rohullah Nikpai won an Olympic Medal in TKD for Afghanistan.We studied TKD in the U.S. We are very happy to know of this news.
