Some Facebook users slammed the 21-year-old for her attire, saying they could see the shape or her "aurat" (parts of body to be covered according to Islam) in her leotard.
But the double gold medallist fired back on Twitter: "Empty cans make the most noise."

Among them was Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who tweeted: "In gymnastics Farah wowed the judges and brought home gold.
