Just saw her final backstroke race on FSN. Inspiration to all Iranians and athletes out there.

First (half) Iranian swimming world champion

I wondered if you noticed, but Leila Vaziri is the new world champion in 50 meter backstroke, since last week:

Awesome. It warms my heart to see her cling to her Persian identity and heritage despite growing up half-way across the world. Definitely more Iranian than some others living in Iran. Go Leila.
