#1 Bar the men too and any of their fans. I'm sure that the level of play will be the same in any meaningful competition.

#2 And, any Saudi women who might be entered into the Olympics would never satisfy the performance standards to be eligible, of course. I think they've gotten a bit picky since Eddie the Eagle.

Of course, Human Rights Watch doesn't really care about deadlier forms of discrimination against women. I mean, 90% of Egyptian women have been mutilated....

Eddie is doing all right.

#6 Thanks for the Eddie link, tipper. I'm glad to know he's doing well and is still just a regular guy.

Heh. They tend to explode out of the starting blocks.
