The country does not allow women to participate in the Olympics, and had never sent a female athlete to the Olympic Games. Nonetheless, it did send one female competitor to these inaugural Youth Games: Dalma Rushdi Malhas, who competed in equestrian and won Saudi Arabia's only medal, a bronze. The International Olympic Committee had made it a requirement for every national delegation to include at least one female athlete. [2] [3]
