沙特阿拉伯將允許女性運動員參加即將舉行的倫敦奧運會。沙特官員表示他們的奧林匹克委員會將監督有資格的女性運動員們參與。

Saudi Arabia will allow female athletes to compete in the upcoming London Olympics. Saudi officials have said their Olympic Committee will "oversee participation of women athletes who can qualify".
The decision end fears that the entire Saudi team could be disqualified on grounds of gender discrimination. Show jumper Dalma Rushdi Malhas is considered the only female Saudi athlete ready to compete at London Olympics. Saudi officials say there may be a chance for others to compete. However, they would be dressed "to preserve their dignity," using a "sports hijab" with a scarf covering the hair but not the face.
