What planet is European Handball Federation on? Norway's women's beach handball team were fined for wearing shorts, not bikini bottoms in Euro 2021 tournament. Male players can wear shorts. Absurd to require women athletes to wear revealing attire @EHFEURO abcactionnews.com/sports/nor…

Norway's women's handball team fined for not wearing bikini bottoms

The European Handball Federation requires women who play the sport to wear bikini bottoms. The Norwegian team chose to wear shorts, like the men are allowed to do.

In my work I distinguish between four Cs: Capacity (talent) Competence (learned skills) Creativity (putting into existence divergent ideas and products) Commitment (fully engaged in a valued goal) These four are not always aligned, but when they are, amazing things can happen.

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

Intelligent, witty, beautiful, sophisticated...there’s no shortage of ways to describe Kate Sylvester’s evocations of modern femininity. She creates clothes to last a lifetime, not a season. Hear her talk at SP 2020 – livestream or in person. bit.ly/3iWr3sA
