Norway’s beach handball team is facing a fine after the players refused to wear bikini bottoms in a match, instead competing in non-regulation shorts.
The Norwegian handball federation said Monday it was ready to pay the possible fine after the women’s team defied official regulations.
The Scandinavians wore shorts instead of the bikini required by the International Handball Federation’s (IHF) rules in their bronze medal match against Spain at the European Beach Handball Championship in Varna, Bulgaria, on Sunday.
