Zahra Lari made history when she decided to pursue figure skating professionally, not only becoming the first Emirati to do so but she rightly earned the moniker ‘Ice Princess of the UAE’.

The three-time UAE national figure skating champion is now all set to represent her country in the 2018 Winter Olympics qualifying competition held in Oberstdorf, Germany from September 27-30.

The 22-year-old Emirati is excited to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in the world of figure skating at the competition, and while qualifying for the Olympics is her ultimate dream, Lari says skating clean will be enough for her to leave Germany with her head held high.
