By Saudi Arabian law, women cannot be in the Olympic Games.[1] However, the International Olympic Committee is reportedly pressuring the Saudi Olympic Committee to send female athletes to the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] Others want Saudi Arabia to not be in the Olympics unless they let women in.[3]
The Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee was formed in 1964 and recognized in 1965.[4]
