Elnaz Rekabi who is from Iran was competing at a rock-climbing tournament but was lacking part of the necessary uniform, her hijab. She was said to be wearing a headband with her hair in a ponytail. There was a huge outburst when she did not return back to Iran after competing in public without her hijab on. Since there has been recent displays of what the morality police and anyone else in charge can do when women aren't wearing their hijab properly everyone was scared for her. After her competition on Sunday, she didn't return home until Wednesday morning. After she returned, she was talking to press and said that it wasn't her plan to compete without her hijab, she didn't know that she would be competing at that time and simply wasn't prepared. Her brother gave an interview Tuesday morning and said “My sister is a child of Iran, and she will always play wearing the national team’s uniform. Elnaz belongs to this land, and she will always play for this country,” No one knows what will happen in the next few days or if she will have any repercussions or have any trouble at all.
