The important aspect of this is that a female is competing from a nation that would not allow it before now. Progress.

I have my own opinion about the accommodation made which I'll just go ahead and dismiss myself because I'd rather her compete than not.

That's the ticket.

It was over in little more than a minute, but it will go down as one of the most memorable moments of the London Games.

A young Saudi judo fighter's decisive defeat on the mat Friday is being hailed as a victory for women in the conservative Gulf kingdom, a step that would have seemed unimaginable if thousands of fans at the sprawling ExCel Center and millions at home hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani was one of just two women competing for Saudi Arabia at the games, the first time the Gulf state has sent female athletes at all. And she was only able to compete in judo after a compromise between Olympic organizers, the international judo federation and Saudi officials that cleared the way for her to wear a modified hijab.

Even that was unacceptable to hard-liners, who said she was dishonoring herself by fighting in front of men, including the male referee and judges.


The drama was not in seeing who would win. In a competition where everyone else holds a high-level black belt, Shahrkhani has only attained a blue. Her father, Ali, an international judo referee, summed up the odds his daughter was facing.

"They are champions she is fighting, and my daughter, for her it is the first competition," he said.

She lost her 1st match, but won the greater battle.
I hope it doesn't bring harm to her or her family back home.
Now, I gotta see the sprinter with no feet run!

After the officials prohibited her from wearing her normal hijab for safety reasons, the "sport hijab" she ended up wearing for the match showed some of her neck. I'm sure this will be a scandal in some circles.

I'm not really surprised she lost quickly. Apparently, she was the first blue belt ever to compete in Olympic judo, and she's only been practicing the sport for 2 years. Still, I think what she did was admirable.

I think it's great that female athletes from these very conservative countries are competing. It's sad to think that once again, her wardrobe was almost as newsworthy as her presence in the Games. One can ony hope that as more women compete, the governments and zealots of these societies will begin to see the big picture rather than focus on how much neck is showing.

Kudos to her for braving it out with women who far outranked her; she lost the judo fight, but won the battle for women of KSA and many other countries.

So sad about the Qatar runner; her start was doomed from the second she left the blocks. I hope she remembers the experience of opening ceremonies and all the unity with that over her race she couldn't complete.

It was cool to see the Iraqi woman runner advance to the finals in the 100m. Progress is slow, but moving forward.
