At the "Paris 2024" Olympic Games, the regulations regarding the attire of female beach volleyball players have been abolished, allowing female athletes to compete in tight shorts instead of bikinis. The Egyptian female athletes appeared in black attire with long sleeves and pants, along with headscarves. In contrast, some other countries, such as the USA, still opted for the traditional bikinis.
The attire of beach volleyball players has sparked significant reactions over the years, particularly after Norwegian players were fined for wearing shorts instead of bikinis in 2021. The team later responded to the controversy by expressing, "We have been overwhelmed with attention and support from around the world, and we really hope this leads to a change in this ridiculous rule."
