Parkour daredevils challenge social norms in Egypt

This could be Egypt's first professional all-women parkour team.

Once a week, a group of Egyptian women gather at an abandoned park in a Cairo suburb.

They run, climb walls and jump around while challenging the country's conservative social norms.

Their training focuses on building strength, but their aim is to prove that no sport is restricted to men.

Dressed in their tracks, T-shirts and sneakers, these women have been training every week for the past six months.

'It is natural that people did not accept it, because they were not used to it,' said Zayneb Helal, one of the players, in an interview.

'They did not accept the idea that girls could play sports, let alone on the street,' she added.

But these young women continue to train despite the stares they get.
