I didn’t know it was a rule in that sport I know in track you can wear whatever you want. It just depends on what you feel least restricted in. Guys all wear compressions tho
In any event, for a sport to be viable, men have to watch it. Most women don't watch sport and even when they do it is because their boyfriend or husband watches it. Most men don't watch sports with ugly women. That is why the WNBA has never been successful and if not for the $millions the WNBA received from the NBA, they would have folded. Almost all starting WNBA basketball players are big and tall; they are sexy. Men used to watch women's tennis in their sexy outfits. However, after that big black monster started winning and she is not sexy, the men's interest in women's tennis has dropped. Being beautiful in sexy outfits attracts men's interest.
If you say, a sport should be based on performance; not looks, I will not disagree. However, that doesn't change what men will pay to watch.
Thats beyond disgusting that they had any penalty.. what in the heck! So some one actually wrote that down in a policy book? "If the majority of the teams butt cheeks are not clearly visible there shall be a fine imposed of ($€ )...
very disrespectful to the players, they are not bikini models, next they're gonna pick players based on who's hot, I guess the organizers think the sport won't be as marketable, the sad part is that maybe they are right
Also wearing that bikini bottom reduces heat build up in the legs so less chance of pulling a muscle, getting a cramp, and lets them play long without getting tired.

As much as I love seeing women in bikini's, its really not necessary. So I side with them on this issue.
Good,"bikinis" were only worn on match days but for training it was actual practical comfortable clothing like shorts and a top
I think the athlete should be re compensated and the fine removed off the athletes record since clearly it was a personal choice
Because the Olympic authority have never played volleyball in Norway.
The only place for a bikini in Norway is the imagination. As it's always minus fuck knows temperature, over there.
If you join the team, abide by the rules and the rules may include what you wear. If you don't like the rules you can try to get them changed.
That is why they choose to get fined. Lol
That might work if that is what most team members want.

Correction They are *not* sexy
Why are these corporations constantly trying to rape women and men.
You can't force someone to wear a bikini; it's not sportsmanlike.
It seems pretty stupid to require an immodest uniform. At least let players choose.
I've often wondered about that myself. Catering to the male that drools over tits and ass.

IKR?
Good for them, tell the olympics to get their spank bank material elsewhere, it’s supposed to be about the sport, not pussy and ass.
Everything’s always about the male gaze, to the point women can’t even play sports without being sexual 🤦🏽♀️
I think that it is outrageous.
They should be able to wear whatever they want.
The team should refuse to participate.
Why should they pay fines for that reason. The federation is dumb

It is about tv ratings, not what is best for the team.
Good for them not to cave in.
There's the world we wish for, and then there's the world we live in. I'm not saying all this to be divisive or trollish, but realist.
I'm sure that adding a little more sex appeal to get more viewers for NBC had absolutely nothing to do with THAT requirement! (yes, it's sarcasm)
Because no one would watch if girls weren't in skimpy outfits playing sports since men are the majority of all sports spectators.
Also wearing that bikini bottom reduces heat build up in the legs so less chance of pulling a muscle, getting a cramp, and lets them play long without getting tired.
Men drool over volleyball indoors too where the girls wear shorts. So to bring more money is not the reason
Did you read my comment above?
Yes. And I am saying that it would not bring significantly less spectators if they used shorts.
