There are plenty of legitimate complaints about what women are allowed to wear (in general, and specifically for various sporting events), but beach volleyball is NOT a good example, as competitors are allowed a variety of outfits > **[Olympic uniforms: Why do beach volleyball players wear bikinis?](https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/7/27/22595788/why-olympic-beach-volleyball-players-wear-bikinis-uniforms-unitards-gymnastics)** > > Some players say that one-piece bathing suits won’t work because the sand gets inside and chafes; in fact, the players say, the less material that can trap sand, the better. > [@](#): > > An appendix has drawings of potential styles for women, including short sleeves and tank tops, long sleeves for modesty and long sleeves for warmth, long pants and shorts, and a one-piece bathing suit or a bikini. So bikinis are a choice. Brian ---

New one: Rhythmic gymnastics. Hula hoops Clubs Balls. Girls flipping and tumbling around on a mat. I couldn’t see a pattern or any choreography. There must have been because the ladies were catching the hoops and balls, for the most part. I could just see them crashing into each other because their eyes were always looking up. If they did I didn’t catch it. I cannot see how they could be judged accurately. It seems there was an individual contest. I missed that one.
