Paragraph 2
Norway's handball
said bikinis were "not
clothing for...playing in the sand". The team's request to wear shorts was turned down. Male players were allowed to wear
and shorts no longer than 10cm above the
; while women were expected to wear
short tops and bikini bottoms "with a close fit and cut on an
angle toward the top of the leg". Norway called the dress rule
, antiquated and "completely ridiculous". It questioned: "How many
changes are needed in the
-fashioned international
of sports?"
