The Norwegian women’s handball team was fined for “improper clothing” at the European Beach Handball Championships — because they wore shorts instead of bikini bottoms, the Independent reported.
The sport’s governing European Handball Federation confirmed a $1,770 fine — $177 per player — for the sartorial transgression.
According to the rules, women are required to wear bikini bottoms when they are competing.
“The Disciplinary Commission at the Beach Handball EURO 2021 has dealt with a case of improper clothing,” the governing body said in a statement.
“In the bronze medal game against Spain on Sunday the team of Norway played with shorts that are not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the Game,” it added.
Hope they learned their lesson
