Named one of Time’s The 100 Most Influential People of 2016, Team Visa athlete Ibtihaj Muhammad is the first Muslim American woman to compete in a hijab at the Olympic Games. “As I start this exciting journey to Rio, I am thrilled to have Visa as a supportive partner,” said Muhammad. The 2014 world champion fencer, who also owns a small business in women’s fashion, qualified for her first Olympic Team in February and joined Team Visa Rio, a team of 40 world-class Olympic and Paralympic athletes, one month later. “I am grateful to join such a fantastic group of athletes who represent the best in their sport and to partner with a brand which represents the best in payments.”
