Highlights

She bought herself a table tennis racket at age nine so she would have something to do after she finished her homework. "In fourth grade, I realised I was different from the other girls, I saw my friends were running at school, walking and playing, and they were thinking about what they would do in the future. And all I could do was sit in my wheelchair and think that I wanted to run like them." (nytimes.com, 26 Jul 2019)

When her father could not afford to buy her prostheses, he asked a friend who was a table tennis coach and a scout for Iraq's national Para table tennis team if he could give her lessons. "He [the coach] said to me, 'I want you to take that paddle and start training daily'." (nytimes.com, 26 Jul 2019)
