I WANTED TO BE AN ICE SKATER WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT DIDNT THINK I COULD BC OF THE OUTFITS BUT !!!!!!!’

why I always reblog Muslim ladies doing sports

@shegufta @writingfish

I like this.

I would also like to point out that if you look closely at the costumes for the non-Muslim figure skaters, the women’s costumes aren’t usually actually skimpy or low cut either.  There is actually fabric there that covers neck, shoulders, and arms – at least for most of them.  I’d be willing to bet legs too.  It just happens that the fabric matches the skin tone.

Then again, what do I know?  I’m not a figure skater. I play rec league level ice hockey…

Yes, they wear tights. When I figure skated, I wore really thick tights because I liked having skin left on my knees after a fall.
