There's your answer, Terramax, Qatar is definitely not Saudi. We are not in the game of forcing every women who walks on the land to wear prescribed clothing.
Al Jazi obviously liked the leotard and Team Qatar supported her.
There is no law about clothing here. There are guidelines for dressing modestly and I guess if you wore a bikini in the Mall it would cause a stir but wouldn't that be the same in any country.
In my own family it crosses the spectrum...some women wear abayas, others jeans and a top, some men wear thobe, some a suit/jeans and a t-shirt. Most like to be traditional in what they wear but not all. It's not the law and they're free to choose.
And don't forget, she's representing Qatar, not Islam, in this sporting event.
I hope my explanation is of some help to you. Feel free to ask/PM me any questions you have about Qatar.
