Controversies

After the European Handball Federation (EHF) fined the Norwegian women's team for wearing shorts like the men's team instead of the required bikini bottom, the EHF said it would donate the amount paid by the Norwegian team "to a major international sports foundation which supports equality for women and girls in sports." American singer Pink said she offered to pay the fine. [4]

Beach handball is a team sport where two teams pass and bounce or roll a ball, trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team. The game is similar to standard handball, but it is played on sand instead of on a solid floor. Because the ball loses most of its bounce on sand, there is little to no dribbling, and players instead perform more passing as the rules of travelling still apply.
