根据沙特阿拉伯法律，直到近期，女性是不得参加奥运的[1]。然而国际奥林匹克委员会施压沙特阿拉伯奥林匹克委员会派出女性运动员参加2012年夏季奥林匹克运动会之后，2012年6月沙特驻伦敦大使馆宣布已经同意[2][3]。
There were calls for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Olympics until it permitted women to compete—notably from Anita DeFrantz, chair of the International Olympic Committee's Women and Sports Commission, in 2010.[4]In 2008, Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, likewise called for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Games, describing its ban on women athletes as a violation of the International Olympic Committee charter. Stating that gender discrimination should be no more acceptable than racial discrimination, he noted: "For the last 15 years, many international nongovernmental organizations worldwide have been trying to lobby the IOC for better enforcement of its own laws banning gender discrimination. [...] While [its] efforts did result in increasing numbers of women Olympians, the IOC has been reluctant to take a strong position and threaten the discriminating countries with suspension or expulsion."[5]

沙特阿拉伯 agreed on July 12, 2012, to send two women to compete in the 2012 Olympic games in London, England. The two female athletes were 沃丹·沙赫卡尼 in 柔道 and 800-meter runner Sarah Attar.[6]Prior to June 2012, Saudi Arabia banned female athletes from competing at the Olympics.[7]
