Saudi Arabia has decided to send two women to the Games in London. Both articles have been created and been taken to DYK to appear during the Olympics. Woot woot! :D Also, at the moment, it looks like there are more Olympic hooks about women Olympians than men. Considering the history of discrimination against women at the Games, something not documented very well on Wikipedia and which tends to be viewed as POV pushing despite the plethora of sources documenting it, this is really good. :D

I highly encourage anyone to motivated to work on these. The articles about Bahraini and Qatari female Olympians would also be FANTASTIC to see if they can be taken to DYK or improved as it is the first time both countries are sending women. In one case, the woman will be her country's flagbearer. These are highly visible women pushing boundaries in ways that better normalise what we do and through sport, help empower women more broadly. The individual article profiles also tend to be a great area where women can work co-operatively with men to improve them. Female Olympian articles are also a good way for working on covering women's issues in areas where there is systematic bias based on geography. Women's sport articles at DYK are doing a fairly good job at addressing both geographic systematic bias and gender systematic bias.
