Until now, Saudi Arabia was one of three countries that did not allow women to participate in the games.
The other two are Qatar and Brunei and they are also going to allow their female athletes compete in the London games that will begin July 27.
The female athletes will compete but they will be dressed "to preserve their dignity". (photo above)

Whose dignity really? That of the country or the athletes? Just curios
will dey b able to run n do other stuff fully dressed? i don't think its convenient o. there is a reason for sport outfits, its not just to show the world ur body.
just making the numbers and be called OLYMPIANS - KC
thank God for exposure.
abegii who dem dey deceive of course demself...am jst passing sha.
Na wah oh how will they win all coverd up like dat, one is suppose to be comfortable n free during sport,make dem go sleep joor!
Hian!
Longtime no see where went u baba BLOGLORD-UR I DEY TROWAY SALUTE VIA BLACKBERRYBOLD.5
A step in the right direction..
Dressed like dis? Make dem sitdown 4 ouse biko
This is great
I hope they don't trip and fall cuz of their jalabi or jalabia
It has nothing 2 do wit exposure, yes d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ are 2 preserve dia dignity, women hav lost dia dignity all in D̶̲̥̅̊ name O̶̷̩̥̊͡Ƒ westernization. Nakedness is now D̶̲̥̅̊ oda O̶̷̩̥̊͡Ƒ day buh tank God some pple still preserve dis precious pearl call womanhood.
I'm jst happy Saudi is allowing more freedom 4 women! Nt much tho bt soon dey'll ease up on all dese deir strict rules.
bigups ........u culd still follow me on @iAmhairs.....we follow back
Surprised about Qatar.
God bless these ladies. It's not easy for pioneers. Look at Sania Mirza (muslim female tennis player from India), they gave her so much stress over clothing and religion, and don't think it didn't affect her game. I sometimes wish she had a stronger support system so she could just play!
More power to these women.
Na them sabi,we didn't miss them in Olympics.So their presence or absense does not count
LMAO....this is hilarious. What kinda game will they be participating in though....very curious. LMFAO
This is obviously for comic relief because na so dem go cover face dey run
MASQUERADES IN SPORTS, DUMB TRADITION/BELIEF...THEY MUST REALLY THINK THIS IS SOME SORT OF FANFAIR OR HALLOWEEN...TRASH, NO WONDER NIGERIAN NORTHERNERS TOOK AFTER THEIR WAYS & FANATISM IN EVEN A MUCH WORSE PERSPECTIVE.
PLEASE THERE'S A REASON WHY SPORTS WEARS ARE DESIGNED THE WAY THEY ARE ABEG!!! WHY THEM NO WEAR AGBADA OR KAFTAN TO RUN, JUMP & EVEN PLAY FOOTBALL THEN... AWON OPONU OSHI
***I laugh in French***
@willadebo

Whose dignity??? Hypocrites....
lol, they still won't win, .47vids.com
As time ticks and the end draws closer. Soon they'd conform, reform and deform.
which one be to preserve their dignity ? Dem no dey fuck ? or abi their toto na gold ?
Idiots they are only deceiving themselves they compete or dey dont compete wetein concern us. we dont need them they should be searched properly most of dem are suicide bombers.at this age in time Muslims are still acting primitive.Ancient and backwards folks
Dats progress. I guess they gonna be covering they heads when they compete.
of cos they wil always tek last, cos i dnt c dem doin well in their outfit.welcom on board though..
why must the tracksuit be black??
What are they wearing? lol
What's the point anyway????How are they supposed to perform excellently with all of em fabric jumping in-between their legs???Mtchewwww Waste of time and energy.

lol oya make we dey watch bit i taught that the olympics had come and gone seff...... Via Nokia 701. Which is currently the best nokia phone existing.
THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTA PLACE IF ALL WOMEN COVER UP MORE!!!!
MUSIC VIDEO ARE NO MORE MUSIC VIDEOS THEY ARE NOW SEX TAPES, LEFT AND RIGHT ALL YOU SEE IS NAKED WOMEM!!!!!!
ABEG THEY SHLD PROTECT THEIR DIGNITY JARE......
They can only participate in few sports...they are opening up sha!
Swimming is out of it...all curves, bolds, torches of the ladies would be stared at...something they are supposed to cover with their Hijabs.
And guess what; Hijabs would restrain people from sprinting, streamline in swimming, swing a discuss, play football, do the High Jumps, Pole-Vault, Do lawn Tennis (Table Tennis can fly), Tripple-Jumps would be out of it, no show for cricket, volley ball, squash, etc...Ah! Gymnastics!!!
What's remaining for them to participate at? I'd love to watch.
It will be nice that they compete with their gowns via Second hand blackberrybold.5 and Panasonic Air Conditioner remote.
now we shall fully see what their women look like oshe
Anon June 25, 2012 11:07 AM; yes, there's the H&S side to it as well. I think Blatter banned a female football team from covering their heads due to H&S concerns.
The female athletes will compete but they will be dressed "to preserve their dignity"
Good one, let the world unite, that the spirit of the Olympics

Thank God they have started allowing them, It was that woman that went rebellious that drove a car that set the women free from encapsulation. why should their men be driving and they are not allowed to drive. why should their men go to higer places and they are left @ the background.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Who cares!!

Dey shuldnt bother bcos competing in does outfits is already an epic fail u want to tell me dat u can win 100 meters sprint wit wrapper flapping btwn ur legs? Mtscheeeew
That's a very good move! Thank God they are beginning to allow their women express themselves. However I hope their outfits would not be a hindrance to maximum performance, because they look too comfy to me (better as a sleepwear). http://www.frediliadtruthuncensored.blogspot.com
In the pictures Christians portray Holy Mary show that she always cover a head scarf that looks like the ones the young ladies in the picture are wearing. Christian ladies only remember to cover their heads when they are in their churches or about to pray. If those people define define and modesty in dressing as not exposing your body and nakedly dressed, then what is your argument? Let those people rest jare.
Linda, why you put that in quote? Wetin be your business? Na so they wan dress so e no concern you. E no better pass those girls whe dey wear bikini then later, people go rape them because of the thing whe their eyes see?
Wetin they wan even do for Olympics?
Archaic people! So this is what will happen if we allow sharia law in naija abi? God forbid..hypocrites
Please, these people need to come into the 21st century finally, but this isn't the way forward at all.

What kind of sport will the participate in with the head covered up? I didn't know hide and seek was part of the olympics.
@Anonymous June 25, 2012 10:26 PM. I am sooooo very sorry dear.I didn't know calling someone else your surname will give you such heartburn.(BTW Mumu, i typed "foolish", so get over yourself pls, nobody's interested in stealing your identity!)
Read Beammie Alhaji's comment and understand why i think they are stupid(sorry for borrowing your name again)
P.S- If you love to advocate for them soooooo much, better catch a (Dana) flight to Saudi Arabia, and advise them that they could trip and crack their brain boxes open like water melons on the track. We don't need such gory sights at the Olympics. Azzho!
Lwkmd!!!
