Some participating nations demanded that all sportswomen competing in the athletics, beach volleyball and swimming events wear body-covering sporting outfits instead of the usual, functional and official sports bikinis regulated by international rules. In some countries of the Muslim world, sporting suits for women called burqini, which cover the whole body except the face, the hands and the feet, are in use in accordance with Islamic culture. Furthermore, some countries asked the organizers to run the male and female events on separate days. Both regulations were applied in the first edition of the Games held in Saudi Arabia in 2005.Bikini Tensions Mar Islamic Games in Indonesia http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/sports/bikini-tensions-mar-islamic-games-in-indonesia/ Jakarta Globe Agence France-Presse 20 September 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130922232826/http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/sports/bikini-tensions-mar-islamic-games-in-indonesia/ 2013-09-22 dead The organizing committee refused to fully comply with the demands stating that only the countries ruled by Islamic governments among the 44 participants with Muslim population opposed the two-piece sporting outfits standardized in international sports dress code. The organizers ruled that the use of sports bikinis was optional so that sportswomen may wear religious-based outfits.
