As the Olympic Games approaches, I was wondering how Muslim athletes would cope with fasting. Al Jazeera's article came at the right time:
So, it seems that they have the choice, to a certain extent, to add extra days after the official season or to do it in another occasion (for moderate minds), as it applies to expectant women or sick people . One think I thought interesting, was Maher Abu Rmeileh, the Palestinian judokka pointing out that Ramadan isn't just fasting, but also dedication to prayer. So, it doesn't make much sense to stop eating and drinking, but keep practising.
