Muslim Female Athletes Find Sport So Essential They Compete While Covered

Found this interesting, they should get a handicap, a few seconds, a few strokes

Look more carefully, and you would have noticed another novel sight of the 2010s: six cyclists on their bikes, zipping back and forth, coed — four men in helmets, two women in helmets and hijabs.

These two sisters have happened upon a passion for triathlon in their 20s, and the sport has driven them around the world and even to the wilds of eBay. That’s where Najla Al Jeraiwi, determined that being covered would not impede being competitive, bought 15 body suits some time ago, fearing their obsolescence because swimming’s governing body had banned them from world competition.

And your point is...?

I know of a sick cult that wears the image of a torture device used to kill their own god, creepy.

If you're asking me, I think they're at a disadvantage and its fantastic they still want to take part in the competition, I'll cheer them on. Hope the proper suits are developed so they can compete on an equal level

When we were on holiday in Turkey , we visited beaches and water parks where a lot of Muslim women swam wearing a full body swim suit with head covering / hijab. They swam fast too . pretty sure I'd sink like a rock if I even fell in the bath wearing pjs .

I LOVE the look of a middle eastern heavily eye shadowed eyes appearing through her hijab/burka whatever teh fuck they're covering up with. They look so dangerous, and not just cuz i fear they could detonate at any second and blow me to pieces. Very sultry, seductive stuff.
