I am often surprised at how women must compete before being allowed to compete in a sport. Women's history, even in the United States, is filled with stories of them convincing men they can participate in sports. I'm a little surprised the article's author didn't address whether there's anything in Islam that would prevent a woman from being an athlete, besides clothing issues in certain cultures. To me, that seems more like an excuse than a real reason. Women are enterprising enough to adapt their appropriate dress to any number of physical activities.

even swimming is getting easier for muslim women. the new style is head-to-ankle body covering and long sleeves because the new synthetics have lower resistance then skin. women obviously wear swim caps, so i think except for the most extreme societies (those that require full face covering), this should work.
