They will also be the Olympics of faith as Time writes. It will be the first time for the women of Qatar, Brunei and Saudi Arabia. About 3500 muslim athletes will compete and their competition will take place during the holy month of Ramadan. Ibtihaj Muhamad will be the first American athlete to compete in the saber with the hijab. Moe Sbihi, English rower, decided to donate 1800 meals to the poor in Morocco, 60 for each day that he will not follow the fast. Many other athletes will follow instead the fast, and their faith will help them psychologically to make them more determined and confident during the competitions. These facts, the participation for the first time of an amputee athlete, Oscar Pistorius, and also the great increased number of women permit to La Stampa to title today that London 2012 are the Games of All.
