Kübra Dağlı

Kübra Dağlı (born 17 February 1996) is a Turkish Taekwondo athlete, social media influencer and two-time world champion.

[1][2] Dağlı, alongside her partner Emirhan Muran, won a gold medal in the senior competition at the 10th World Poomsae Championships held in Peru in 2016.

[4] Following her world title in 2016, she received extensive media coverage, particularly for her competing in Taekwondo while wearing a headscarf.

Milliyet newspaper columnist Asu Maro documented the two sources of criticism Dağlı faced – Muslims who saw Taekwondo itself as improper for women, and secular organizations who wanted her to remove her head covering during competitions.

[5] Headscarves are permitted by Taekwondo's international governing bodies, though Dağlı said she did have to wear a bandana instead of a hijab once, in 2013.
