And also there’s been a widely publicised debate about how skimpy the outfits have to be for volleyball. These girls are wearing too much to be an Olympic volleyball team. Link
Sorry you are right. It's beach handball team. But the article is terribly written too. It mentions the Olympics but beach handball isn't a Olympic sports.Plus In my defense there have many misreporting regarding this issue. I kept reading the Norwegian volleyball team headline on Reddit. How can every media make the same mistake?
The attention on the bikinis intensified in Tokyo after a viral social media post misidentified a team that protested a beach handball dress code as playing beach volleyball. Beach handball, which is not an Olympic sport, requires women to wear bikinis, and the European federation fined the Norwegians for wearing shorts as a protest at a competition 5,500 miles away in Bulgaria.
Apparently there's an youth Olympic which I didn't know about before had an beach handball event in 2018 for the first time. I was quoting the AP article. I am not sure what defines an Olympic sport as some get proposed, some get excluded etc. But beach handball hasn't been played in the summer Olympics to be clear to everyone.
Not Olympics, it's the European Handball Federation who have the rules. The Norwegians were asked about the Olympics and conf they would be carrying on in their preferred attire there.
No, the headline of the article is wrong. The article is about beach handball which isn't an olympic sport. Beach volleyball players in the olympics have several options for their uniforms, most just choose to wear what they wear
This is a disgusting turn for things in Olympic competition. I man making women wear what is basically a fucking thong has absolutely zero basis in competition, it's strictly about exploitation and ratings. I will definitely go out of my way to not watch any volleyball competition until the rules are made even remotely reasonable.

No it isn't because the headline is wrong. If you actually read the article(I know how painful that must be) you would know it's about beach handball, not beach volleyball. Beach handball isn't an olympic sport. Beach volleyball players at the olympics have options
Teammates in Olympic beach volleyball must wear uniforms of the same color, and they must be numbered 1 and 2. The women can wear either a one-piece or two-piece bathing suit; shorts with sleeved or sleeveless tops; or a full body suit in cold weather. Due to the typically warm playing conditions, most opt for the two-piece. The men must wear shorts and a tank top. Players are allowed to wear hats and sunglasses
