Until the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Saudi Arabia was one of three countries that had never had a female competitor at the games.[1] The other two countries, Qatar and Brunei, also selected women to compete for the first time.[2] On 20 December 2021, the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee and the Saudi Arabian Paralympic Committee were merged into one.[3]
