One step forwards, two steps back............

If they introduce 'syncronised shopping (luxury brand classification)' they'll be there

Millhouse

Is this a new event? egg and spoon?

Or to see who can lay on an inch of makeup the quickest.

Luxury shopping, egg and spoon, putting on make-up - their ruling elite would still ban them...........

Just curious, I wonder how many Saudi male competitors will be taking part?

Banning the women aside, they are not exactly a great sporting nation

They'd probably be keener if they could get someone else to do the physical bit for them...

What a fascinating thought........... Olympic events - Saudi style....... like the Long Jump - they have to wait for the maid to sweep all that messy sand out of the way............

Boomhauer

Would be shame if the men didn't compete, I'd expect them to win the following:
Caning
Precision slicing of various things, like watermelons.
driving on 2 wheels
best beard

Is beating your maid with a flex an event for men or women?

It'd be mixed, but then the Saudis wouldn't be able to compete.

I've read and heard about quite a few Saudi girls who would love to compete. There is, in fact, a Saudi female basketball team. And they might be very good if given a chance. Maybe a lot of Saudi women would be good at sports if they were allowed to play them.

...and then a poor Bangladeshi would do the actual jumping [whilst the Saudi chatted to his mates and drank tea].
