Saudi versus German players in Olympics beach volleyball game

Muslims on fb can't stop gloating how proud they are of the hijab wearing athletes.

Missed this one. Would i be correct to guess that Germany won the match hands down. Anyway, saw a part of Brazil vs Argentina indoor volleyball match.

BTW, in the opening ceremony, remember the commentator saying that IOC had threatened to ban Saudi if it didn't allow female athletes. So, these make the token.

Quarter Final hopes still alive for India after a thrilling 2-1 win over Argentina.

Thats an Egyptian woman.

There are reports that a female Saudi judo competitor forfeited her match to avoid facing an Israeli in the next round.

And I searched all of this link and found there is no Saudi team.

Why Saudi and all others so morbidly afraid of Israelis?

Just finished watching India v Netherlands field hockey on nbc live stream. Watched field hockey after a long time. Unfortunately India lost 2-1 after failing to convert on a series of penalty corners at the end of the game.

it is the same story from the 80s. Some teams (particularly Pakistan) used to force Penalty corners knowing that India wont convert.
There was some Penalty corner expert who got killed in Punjab suring the terror days. Not sure if it was Prithipal singh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prithipal_Singh
