  • good for them. i hope that this is only the beginning and that in a couple decades that womens sports and athletics in the middle east are as accepted and a way of life as it is in the west.

  • Pretty girls

  • -.-* now seriously where is that...

  • this is a media technique , you can identify it since you know your own culture and country but others who are clueless abouut the country's culture believe it. someone has to point this misconceptions out.

  • Cause thats what british news allways do.

  • "considered to be passive"

    "treated as second class citizens"

    why stereotyping the middle east even in a sports report?
