About the player
Kariman Abu Al-Jadayel is a Saudi runner. She competed in the women's 100 meters at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She was the first woman from Saudi Arabia to compete in the event. She was excluded from the Olympics after finishing seventh in the preliminary round with a time of 14.61 seconds.
She wore a full black outfit on her body according to the culture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Kariman followed the same approach as the Saudi runner Sarah Al-Attar, who had participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Saudi Arabia was previously threatened by the Olympic Games administration to ban its upcoming participation if the Saudi sports delegation did not include any female athlete. However, Kariman did not achieve much success in her homeland, according to one newspaper that criticized this matter.
