Parkour athlete
United Arab Emirates
Amal Murad is the first Emirati woman to coach and compete in parkour or free running. She says that when she first started, she was afraid that society would not accept her, but has been surprised by the amount of support she received. Now, she’s a rising star in the UAE’s parkour scene, with coaching classes at Gravity Gym in Al Quoz, an avid social media following, and a starring role in a new regional campaign.
