Afghanistan will eventually have its first female athlete to compete at the Paralympic Games since 2004 as Zakia Khudadadi made a dramatic entry at the Tokyo 2020 Games, five days after the country's flag was made part of the opening ceremony. Zakia and Hossain Rasouli are part of the Afghanistan Paralympic Team that arrived in Tokyo on Saturday, after being evacuated from the worn-torn country as part of an international collaboration.
