    Must admit I'd quite miss Najmeh Abtin, who represented Iraq in the archery at the Beijing Olympics wearing a rather fetching hijab and baseball cap combo. If 2012 proves to be another washout British summer, I think the idea might catch on, with the addition of a little waterproofing.

    Here's Najmeh:-

    Unfortunately she didn't get far in the competition. She was knocked out in the first round.

    Just over two thousand condoms is what I read into that... and 5 other things I'm not even going to mention.

    Very fetching! I agree that would be a shame if she wasn't allowed to compete just because of some mole eyed religious extremist.

    Breaking News according to the BBC "Iran has indicated it will attend the 2012 Olympics in London, despite complaining that the Games logo resembles the word "Zion"."

    Phew, it wouldn't have been the same without them. :thumb:
