Norwegian handball team fined $1,700 for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms
The Norwegian women's handball team is facing a steep fine for breaking the dress code and making a statement at the European Beach Handball Championships.
The team showed up for their bronze medal match against Spain wearing shorts, which is against the rules set by the International Handball Federation. Bikini bottoms are required for beach handball.
The European Handball Federation announced the 1,500 euro (approximately $1,767) fine on Monday. Via USA Today, the EHF said that the shorts were "not according to the athlete uniform regulations defined in the IHF beach handball rules of the game." The 10 members of the team were fined 150 euros each.
