At the Rio Games, there are four Saudi women, although two are already out. Her bout, make that rout, at the Rio Games lasted just 1 minute and 44 seconds. Of course, Saudi women have to start somewhere. The Rio Games' information site offers no biographical material about her other than age (29), height (1.52 meters; 5 feet) and weight (45 kilograms; 99 pounds). Handing out wild cards for token Saudi women to participate at the Olympics is billed as a well-meaning effort to promote female sport.
