Sadaf Rahimi is an female Afghan flyweight boxer who will be competing in the 2012 Olympics. She is the third woman from Afghanistan to compete in the Olympics. Her older sister, Shabnam, is also a boxer. She's considered a landmark athlete as she is the first female boxer to compete in the Olympics from Afghanistan, which historically has not been open to women pursuing sport. Her family has apparently received death threats for having daughters that participate in what's seen as a men-only-sport.
