Afghan cyclist Rukhsar Habibzai will continue with her racing dreams, despite being forced to leave her country as part of the mass evacuation of vulnerable citizens who faced targeted gender violence by the Taliban. The member of the Afghanistan women's cycling team nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, has relocated to the US and will compete with the Twenty24 development team through 2023.

"I want our government to support the presence of women in sports so we can participate in the World Championships and bring gold home and showcase the physical and mental strength of an Afghan woman to Afghanistan and to the whole world. I want to tell them that a woman is not weak, and that success can be achieved by any gender," Habibzai said.
Habibzai evacuated Afghanistan out of the Kabul airport right before being shut down following the US military withdrawal deadline at the end of August. She was at the airport waiting for her departure with a group of female cyclists when they narrowly escaped the twin explosions outside of the main airport's Abbey Gate. The suicide bombing killed 13 US soldiers while recent BBC reports have put the overall toll at more than 150.

Habibzai was taken to Qatar, and then to a US military base in Germany, where she stayed for weeks before arriving at an immigration centre in New Jersey. Habibzai spent several weeks at the centre while waiting for an emergency visa before settling in another state on Friday
