While not an Olympic sport, the Norway women’s beach handball team took a similar stand when they wore shorts – instead of the requisite bikini bottoms – while competing at the Beach Handball EURO 2021 in Bulgaria earlier this month.
The attire defied International Handball Federation regulations – which require female beach handball players to wear sports bras and bikini bottoms, while men can wear tank tops and shorts – and the Disciplinary Committee of the European Handball Federation fined the Norwegian Handball Federation 1,500 euros – 150 euros for each player who wore shorts.
The female beach handball players that staged a protest for wearing shorts in 2021 comes to mind for most people when talking about this topic.
