Olympics, and every sport, provides a ground set of rules. As hundreds in nations compete in the Olympics, you cannot give preference to any of them.
There is high probability that at least one Saudi cleric will declare her to be killed.
To be honest, the restriction on women's clothing in beach volleyball is sexist. And I say that as a red blooded male.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
There has got to be a way for the sport hijab to work. On ther other hand, if she shuns the sport hijab, I dunno what to say. The sport hijab like a very reasonable accomodation to allow Muslim women to compete while observing their religious beliefs.

How is it sexist? They wear more than men do. There have been some female pairs in this Olympics in what are nearly full body uniforms due to the cold weather in England (summer Olympics in 50 degree weather is just odd).

Until this Olympics they weren't allowed to wear shorts, if I'm not mistaken.

not true, many Muslim women do not wear a Hijab or head coverings.

Baggy shorts, no, but they weren't forced to wear briefs. I'm married to a former player, and they don't view the briefs as something being forced upon them. It's what they'd wear given the choice. Mobility is all they care about.
The rules, btw:
Players must have matching uniforms. For men, this includes shorts and shirts if necessary. Women must have matching bathing suits. Players also must be barefoot while playing. These uniforms must be matching colors when players are in an official competition. They must also be clean.

Not really. It's unfair to her opponents if they have to worry about accidentally strangling her, IMO. Also, it's not her choice.

For 99% of sports, this wouldn't matter.
But Judo? Good lord, pick a better sport to make your stand when it comes to clothing. Half the sport has to do with tugging on clothing.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I hope they find a way to resolve this and have her compete, mainly because I'd love to see how one-sided this fight would be.

I want to see it too just to see if the opponent takes it easy on her but still dominates, or just goes all out and destroys her.

it almost feels staged and set up to create a controversy by the part of the Saudis, especially considering her experience with the sport
I'm not that familiar with how a judo match plays out, but if it poses some danger to her or the opposing player then she has to withdraw or drop the hijab.
No, it's not. Several people in my family and relatives don't wear hijab.

The best part is when she keeps the hijab as a trophy at the end.
That would be unfortunate and hilarious.

I just love the "They must be clean" part of the rules.
As long as her head isn't still in it, that might be a victory.
What? I watched the olympic highlights yesterday and the women were wearing two piece swim suits whilst the men were in t-shirts and shorts. The equivalent would be for men to wear speedos, but thankfully they don't.
They may have relaxed the dress code recently, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a culture of "tittilation" in women's beach volleyball.
That does not mean the hijab isnt mandatory. Many muslims drink alcohol or take out loans with interest. Doesnt mean both are not forbidden.

Not every Muslim abstains from alcohol either, that doesn't mean it is allowed. You can apply that to many examples. But the fact of the matter is a hijab is not optional. Come on guys, use some common sense.
Avoiding alcohol is mentioned in the Quraan, wearing a veil isn't.
Riiight!
If she wears the Hijab then her opponent should be able to wear this.

That doesn't make it sexist.
Check out this picture from Saturdays US-Australia match. Tell me how titilating the Aussie woman's bathing suit is.
hijab is mandatory, niqab is debatable.
Edit:
Would make a better Bane in TDKR.
excellent
Your punishment must be more severe.
neither are, despite how hard our backward sheikhs try to make it a central part of the religion.
The Australians were one of the most vocal critics of the old dress code. Makes sense that they're the first to change.

"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful." [Quran 33:59]
"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna" [Quran 24:31]

This without even citing the Hadiths
al-Noor 24:31...
Should just go with this, don't think it would cause any problems. All this and she's just going to lose in 20 seconds anyway.
How to Perform Salat isnt in the Quran, How to caculate much to give in Zakat isnt in the quran, How to perform the Hajj isnt in the quran.
Thanks for saving me the trouble.
To what does 'forbidden things' refer?
We don't have to do anything!

Lust/desire for someone. Generally you are discouraged from taking a second look at a person you aren't related to or married. This is to prevent pre-marital relations. That applies to both genders

Doesn't mean it's not mandatory. Is the concept of individuals not following their religion 100% new to you?
Wow, that sounds completely impractical. I suspect that's one of the bits that people simply discard.
