Q. Ok so i was watching the 400 and both pakistan and saudi arabia were covered in clothing. Don't you thinks it sucks that the women still have to run the 400,800 etc covered in clothing, doesn't it slow their performance?
Answer
I think that if we look at it as encouraging women to take part in sports in Muslim countries, that is an achievement in itself. So, let them wear their veils - it's of minor consequence in the grand scheme of things. It normalises women in sport. And that's a good thing.

women and sports?
jim
why do women always sexualize sports ?? When they run in a marathon the shorts are bikinis. In volley ball they wear super tight and short shorts. When they are playing in a tennis match every time they hit the ball they make a sound like they are having an orgasms. I think if women want more respect in sports then they should play sports to play sports and not to display there body,, O yes, and in auto racing when you finish the race and take your helmet off,,,,, PLEASE DONT FLIP YOU HAIR THAT MAKES ME GAG.
Answer
I think you are the one who's sexualizing here, because you are the one seeing these things this way, I doubt that the female athletes you mention do.
In many sports, male athletes too wear clothes that many women find attractive. Sports clothing is very often "sexy." Male tennis players make "orgasm sounds", too. Perhaps they display their bodies because they, like, are an integral part for them being able to actually perform in the sports. And for the hair flipping, I guess that's a normal reaction if you've been under a helmet for an hour. I'm sure male racers with long hair do the same thing.
I'm not trying to affront you, but think about it. I am convinced that women are adequatly respected in sports, and that you just have the impression that they aren't. In the same way, I think there are also many women who watch some sports more because of the sexy guys than the sports themselves.
