Amna Al Haddad broke the glass ceiling as an Olympic weightlifting champion. Hailing from the UAE, in 2012 she made history for becoming the first Arab woman to compete in the Reebok CrossFit Asia Regionals in Seoul. The subsequent year, Amna became the first competitive hijab weightlifter from the Gulf to qualify for the Olympics. More recently, the 28-year old Emirati worked alongside Nike to create the award-winning Nike Pro Hijab.
