Sports journalist Reem Abdallah, founder of the first Saudi women’s soccer team: "...Are Saudi women waiting to go to the Olympics in order remove the hijab? That is the first question...."
Is participating in olympics more important to women than following the commands of god is the first question.
If someone is wearing hijab for the purpose of obeying God then let it be clear to him that God has made hijab obligatory for men & women. However god did not make participation in olympics mandatory nor he allowed women to discard hijab in such situations; so for a women who wears hijab for the purpose of obeying god this is a no brainer.
If a women wears hijab for any other reason for her wearing or not wearing doesnt really matter - so she is free to do what she wants.
