How come these ladies find it so easy to get the IOC to accommodate them, when our Canadian women are not allowed to ski jump in the olympics in their own freaking country. I hear they're quite good too. The ski jumpers, I mean. Don't know about the boxers, but I imagine Afghan chicks are scrappy.
Now me, I me I don't mind this, except...

Apples and oranges. The debate over the inclusion of certain sports has nothing really to do with debate over clothing. Maybe their opponents will use the Hijab like a hockey sweater and pull it over their heads while hi-jabbing away?
Why would women want to box anyway?
Challenge of training, thrill of competition, glory in victory, representing one's country? Same reasons as men, I would suppose.

apparently, some do... They want to fight
All the power to them, they could wear snowshoes if they want. It isnt going to help them box better, infact it looks like it will hold heat in more and tire them out quicker.
Don't Olympic boxers wear head protection? Is that above or below the hijab?
I wonder what other religious and/or cultural concessions the IOC makes? If you were a Christian and wouldn't participate on a Sunday, would they move the event? Remember "Chariots of Fire"?
