Talks under way on headscarf for Saudi judoka
None
Talks were under way Friday to allow a woman 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. (AP)
