"I don't see why we can't play in shorts," Norwegian player Martine Welfler said.
Norway's women's beach handball team was fined 1,500 euros on Monday after players opted to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms at a European championship match in Bulgaria. The European Handball Federation (EHF) said in a statement that its disciplinary commission had dealt with "a case of improper clothing" as the shorts were "not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the game", reports ABC News. According to International Handball Federation rules, women athletes must wear bikini bottoms "with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg." On the sides, the bottoms can be no longer than four inches. Men, on the other hand, can wear shorts four inches above the knee. The Norwegian Handball Federation (NHF) said on social media that it was proud of the women for taking a stance against the much-criticised and controversial rule. NHF, in fact, has been complaining about the rule since 2006. "We at NHF stand behind you and support you. Together we will continue to fight to change the rules for clothing so that players can play in the clothes they are comfortable with," the federation wrote.
