#006: Shirin Gerami on the Privilege of Sport and Breaking Down Barriers - a podcast by Jen Brown - Running and Triathlon Coach, Author and Mindset Coach for Women

Born and raised in Tehran, Shirin Gerami only became involved in sport when she settled in the UK at the age of 15.

After discovering triathlons in University, Shirin became the first woman ever to represent Iran in triathlon (women had previously been banned from participating in the sport). She has since gone onto to become the first Iranian - male or female - to finish the Hawaii Ironman.

She is now on a mission to prove that clothing should not be a barrier to participation in sport for millions of women around the world, who want, need or choose to cover their body (whether for cultural or religious reasons, humility or sun protection).
