International Handball Federation changes 'sexist' uniform regulations following criticism
CNN
The International Handball Federation has changed its much-criticized uniform regulations for beach handball, meaning female players will now wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms.
The change comes after the Norwegian women's beach handball team was fined for wearing shorts in a game against Spain earlier this year.
The European Handball Federation had said the shorts were "improper clothing" in the statement announcing the 1,500 euro (around $1,735) fine -- 150 euros ($173) per player.
