In 2013, Saudi religious authorities decreed that women would be allowed to cycle, but only in parks and other "recreational areas" and accompanied by a male relative.

Women were only first allowed to compete for Saudi Arabia at the 2012 Olympic games in London.

There, two women took part, judoka Wojdan Shaherkani and 800m runner Sarah Attar.

At this games, four of the twelve competitors for Saudi Arabia are women
