Default Re: Olympics and gender mixing

''The Islamic Solidarity Games, the Olympics of the Muslim world, which were to be held in Iran in April, have been called off by the Arab states because Tehran inscribed “Persian Gulf” on the tournament’s official logo and medals.'' (Op-Ed Contributor - The Muslim World Is Divided Even by Sports - NYTimes.com )

Islamic countries have their own Olympics, and I'm guessing the rules of modesty are better applied there.
