Zahra was only 12-years-old when she saw the figure skating movie Ice Princess, and that immediately made her realised what she wanted to do with her life. "Then one day, my father picked me up from school and dropped me at the Zayed Sports City Ice Rink," she says. "It was awesome. Back then, the sport wasn't as big as it is now. There were only about 10 skaters... but now we have a lot more."
