Women get option to wear shorts at London 2012 beach volleyball

Female beach volleyball players will be able to wear shorts and sleeved tops instead of bikinis at the Olympics.
The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) said it wanted participants to have options to cover up more.
Bikinis have helped define the sport but the FIVB wants to respect the cultural beliefs of various countries.
"Many of these countries have religious and cultural requirements so the uniform needed to be more flexible." said FIVB spokesman Richard Baker.
The modified rule permits "shorts of a maximum length of (1.18 inches) above the knee, and sleeved or sleeveless tops."
The women's Olympic beach volleyball tournament will be played between 28 July and 12 August in a specially created stadium at Horse Guards Parade near Buckingham Palace.



This is madness...

Discuss.

oh damn i was thinking like no tops on at all

that woulda been hot

This really suck

it will probably be the women that shouldn't be wearing a bikini anyway

Yea they should be wearing nothing

aww i read title and was hoping for something more interesting

so let me guess... a bunch of angry muslims were outraged that women are showing skin and so they bitched about it and, as usual, the international community caves into their demands and doesn't even have the guts to say they did it for the muslims, instead they refer to "various countries."

Fuck islam.

taking away my olympic fap material...
