Talash said that she had thought carefully about her decision before the Olympics, emphasizing that in her moment of glory, advocating for Afghan women mattered more than winning.
She expressed her intent to inspire Afghan girls by turning the burqa into a symbol of strength, stating that from a burqa, they can create wings.
Despite knowing the potential consequences, Talash framed her actions not as a political protest, but rather as a necessary expression to support Afghan women's struggle.
Talash critiqued the hypocrisy of the Olympic authorities’ stance on human rights, while maintaining the focus on empowering women through her performance.
