Saudi Arabia participated in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore.
Until that point, the country did 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 at these Games, a bronze. The International Olympic Committee had made it a requirement for every national delegation to include at least one female athlete."Une ONG dénonce la privation de sport pour les Saoudiennes", Le Monde, 21 February 2012"Saudi Arabia likely to field women athletes in 2012 Olympics", Al Arabiya, 18 November 2011
