Sure.

They can wear whatever they want as long as they can perform the sports efficiently.

So shorts is fine.

Pink is offering her support to the Norwegian female beach handball team in their battle against wearing bikini bottoms during games.

The Grammy-winning singer, 41, took to Twitter on Saturday to announce that she would be willing to pay the disciplinary fines the 10-member team incurred for refusing to wear bikini bottoms in competition.

"I’m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR 'uniform,'" wrote Pink. "The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up."



Tennis legend Billie Jean King also spoke out in support of the Norwegian team. On Twitter, King called out the "sexualization" of women athletes and pointed out that male handball players do not have to follow the same rules.

…hopefully the weight of support will grow and lead to some changes in the discriminatory clothing rules …

Good for Pink & Billie Jean King

I actually thought this story was fake when I first read it , the ridiculous sexism is so blatant.

As mentioned it shouldn't be mandatory to wear bikini bottoms, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with shorts. It's a stupid rule .

…I guess if the fine came, Jax…it would come from the Gymnastics Federation as the Norway team fine came from the European Handball Federation …but the reports that I’ve seen atm just say ‘the most recent controversy’ etc, type thing… and don’t mention another fine so hopefully there won’t be …


…there really is so much weight of support for female athletes in this that hopefully it’ll lead to any changes needed that atm are deemed discriminatory and sexualising….
