- With Tokyo 2020 looming, Iranian sprinter Maryam Toosi has been desperately trying to come to the U.S. to pursue her Olympic Games dream, but is still trying to overcome one seemingly insurmountable hurdle — President Donald Trump’s travel ban.
And since falling in love and getting engaged to Iranian-born U.S. citizen Moein Mohsen, a DJ in Los Angeles, she has been even more determined to make the move. “When I first started chasing the dream of winning a gold medal or even qualifying for the Asian Games, everyone made fun of me — the federation, all the other athletes,” she explained.
“The problem is that Maryam is stuck in administrative processing due to President Trump’s Presidential Proclamation 9645 — that is, the travel ban,” Parviz Malakouti, Toosi’s lawyer, told Reuters.
