6:05Now PlayingIranian competitive climber Elnaz Rekabi, who was believed to have gone missing, arrived back in Tehran on Wednesday, according to several media reports.
Large crowds of supporters gathered at the Imam Khomeini International Airport outside of Tehran on Wednesday morning to welcome her back to Iran.
"Elnaz is a hero," they chanted, clapping their hands.
After receiving flowers from a passerby, Rekabi reiterated what she had said on Instagram earlier — that competing without a hijab had been "completely unintentional." She added that her journey back to Iran had been as scheduled.
Iranian-Canadian journalist, filmmaker and human rights activist Maziar Bahari told DW that Rekabi's statement was coerced by Iranian authorities.
