Lida Fariman, the first Iranian woman to attend the Olympics since the 1979 revolution when comepeted in a shooting event at the '92 Barcelona games. In the '96 Atlanta Games, she carried the Iranian flag for the team while dressed in a white hejab, and competed in her shooting event while wearing the heavy head-dress in a stifling indoor arena.
The issue for Iranian women isn't sport per se , it's if they can compete while wearing a hejab. ranian women will only be able to compete in sports that enable them to be covered from head to toe, such as horseback riding.

I believe it was during the last Olympic games just after Bush declared war of terrorism.

-Not sure,
But in 2006 they should be barred from participating because of the nuke threats they are posing
Why should any athlete compete against a country that is a threat to the world!!!!!
God imagine if the Iranians lost, would they nuke their opponent????
