Norway Delivers Victory for Female Athletes

The International Handball Federation has updated its regulations, allowing female beach handball players to wear short tight pants and a body fit tank top instead of bikinis. This change follows public outrage after Norway's team was fined for wearing shorts. Previously, female players had to wear midriff-bearing tops and bikini bottoms, while male players could wear tank tops and shorts. The new rules aim to address gender disparities in sports attire.
