Noora Naraghi (Persian: نورا نراقی; born 30 May 1988) is an Iranian motocross racer. She is the first women's Iran motocross champion. In 2009, she won Iran's first-ever female championship in motocross. Then, she had made headline news in Iran and worldwide. In 2010, she traveled to Tallahassee, Florida, USA to learn motocross from Stefy Bau, former women's world motocross champion, the elite worldwide motocross academy for women – so, CNN picked up the story.[1] In 2010, she also raced in competitions sponsored by the American Motorcyclist Association.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
