Tehran -- It is believed after reports surfaced Thursday that Iranian taekwondo fighter Kimia Alizadeh fled Iran and emigrated to the Netherlands [which no longer refers to itself as "Holland"] and will compete under a different flag.
Alizadeh is the Islamic Republic's only woman in the history of the world to have ever won an Olympic medal.
Democrats are working frantically to come up with a narrative that implicates President Trump in her leaving the country she once loved, and one congresswoman [hint: she loves to cook stuff on video, dance in the kitchen, and bankrupt the nation with a socialist plan called the Green New Deal] believes she fled because she is afraid that Donald Trump will kill her with a drone just like he killed their nation's hero, Cassam Soleimani.
Kimia Alizadeh won a taekwondo bronze medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016, drawing praise from her compatriots including the country’s fake moderate President Hassan Rouhani and even conservative Islamist terrorists in the Islamic Republic.
In keeping with Iran’s strict Muslim custom, Alizadeh, then 18, competed wearing a head scarf over her taekwondo uniform and protective gear. This may have cut down on her peripheral vision, but may have also been lined with a protective layer to minimize blows to the head. Only the Ayatollah knows.
There were high hopes she would compete at the Tokyo Olympics later this year and bring home another medal, but it appears this is not to be as she chose freedom over theocratic dictatorship.
The semi-official ISNA news agency on Thursday carried a report saying: “Shock for Iran’s Taekwondo. Kimia Alizadeh has emigrated to The Netherlands.”
According to ISNA, the coach of the women’s national team said that Alizadeh is suffering from an injury. Perhaps she forgot to insert her protective hijab liner or didn't wear her hijab at all now that she's allowed to be free not to do so.
It said Alizadeh did not show up for trials ahead of the Tokyo Games. She may have been afraid of being kidnapped, taken back to Iran and made an example of to show others what happens if you try to leave.
ISNA and several other media believe that Alizadeh, who is reportedly training in The Netherlands, is hoping to compete in Tokyo but not under the Iranian flag.
A poor quality picture was posted on the internet. It showed a woman who is believed to be Alizadeh without a hijab posing with a group of young men and women, something that is prohibited in Iran where sexual repression runs rampant.
The hashtag #Kimia_Alizadeh was one of the most-shared Thursday on Twitter in Farsi, along with #SoleimaniIsStillDeadAndTrumpIsStillPOTUSLOL
Alizadeh's family still has not confirmed or denied this wonderful development because the regime might use the family and threaten their lives to get her to return to Iran.
Iranian MP Abdolkarim Hosseinzadeh, [his friends call him "Hoss"] meanwhile, demanded answers, accusing those “incompetent officials,” as he called them, of allowing Iran’s “human capital to flee” the country.
Hoss is a big sports fan and was planning on a little side bet at work that Kimia was going to medal again in Tokyo.
He drew a comparison between Alizadeh and Iranian chess prodigy Alireza Firouzja who won the grandmaster title at age 14, two years after winning the Iranian chess championship, and who now lives in France because Iran isn't a great place to bring up a family.
If Alizadeh fails to represent Iran at the Tokyo Olympics it would be a huge blow for the Islamic Republic and would definitely be Trump's fault if the Democrats can figure out a narrative to blame him.
Along with judo, taekwondo is one of Iran’s sporting strengths, but Iran is as scared as a Betsy Wetsy doll to go against Israel in either event because they never want to "Loooze to the Joooze." They were suspended last year by the International Judo Federation for "punking out" by refusing to lose to Israel.
Currently, the way things stand in the world, is that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) believes that Trump's sanctioning of Iran is an act of terrorism, but the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest and SANCTION) against Israel is honky dory.
