On July 20, Norwegian handball players were punished for refusing to play in bikinis at the European Championships in Bulgaria. The athletes violated the equipment rules by going to the bronze medal match in sports shorts instead of bikini panties. The Disciplinary Committee fined the Norwegian national team 1,500 euros.
