Talks have been underway to allow Shahrkhani, a judo athlete, to compete for Saudi Arabia at the Olympics after the sport's governing federation said she would not be allowed to wear a headscarf. Saudi Arabia, which sent its first two female Olympians to the London Games, had only agreed to let women participate if they adhered to the kingdom's conservative Islamic traditions, including wearing a headscarf. But last Thursday, the International Judo Federation said Shahrkhani, would not be allowed to wear a headscarf because it was against principles of judo and raised safety concerns.
