GENEVA -- Most female beach volleyball players will wear their usual bikini
outfits at the London Olympics. For those who prefer to cover up, that's OK,
too.
Under new rules adopted by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB),
players are free to wear shorts and sleeved tops. The governing body said
the move was made out of respect for the cultural beliefs of some of the
dozens of countries still in contention to qualify for the games.
"Many of these countries have religious and cultural requirements, so the
uniform needed to be more flexible," FIVB spokesman Richard Baker told The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
The rule, which will apply to the Olympics, has already been in effect at
five Continental Cup qualifying competitions involving 142 nations.
"Winners of the Continental Cups will qualify for the Olympics, so it has to
be applied," Baker said.
The FIVB has not specified which countries lobbied to be allowed to cover up
in London. | a***t
