Indian sports star boycotts Iranian competition over Hijab requirement | The Independent

"An Indian sportswoman has backed out of a shooting competition in Iran over the host's requirement all female competitors must wear hijabs.", "Egypt's Doaa Elghobashy and her partner Nada Meawad wore hijabs and long sleeves and trousers to compete in the Olympic beach volleyball competition - Egypt's first ever Olympic team to compete in a beach volleyball tournament."

'The Rio Olympics saw a number of female athletes covering their heads including US fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first ever American to wear a hijab to the Olympics. '

'The 27-year-old told Times of India: "Forcing tourists or foreign guests to wear 'hijab' is against the spirit of the game. '

'The defending champion of the competition, Ms Sidhu said the requirement for the shooters to dress in accordance to Islamic principles was not in the spirit of the sport. '
