SCRIPT (in case you want to read along!):

Why are there women on Afghanistan’s 2024 Olympic Team??

Believe it or not, Afghanistan has been competing in the Olympics since 1936. But, the current Taliban regime does not allow women to participate in sports and is banned by the International Olympic Committee.

Instead, The IOC worked with the Afghan Olympic Committee in exile and built a gender-balanced team of 3 men and 3 women with their pre-2021 flag. Only 1 of the athletes lives in Afghanistan – the Judoka. (The IOC was able to do all this with Universality Places, a rule which reserves spots for small teams from underrepresented countries).

There are an additional five Afghani athletes who are competing under the banner of the Refugee Olympic Team, which has 37 athletes born in 11 nations they can not return to.

The Taliban only recognizes the 3 men as the team, and has made no mention of the sister cyclists or sprinter Kimia Yousofi who ended her run with a message to the world she wrote on the back of her bib: "Education. Sport. Our Rights."
