The female olympic athletes are fighting back against the sexualisation of women in sports.

The German Olympic Women Gymnastics team decided to wear unitards that stretch to their ankles rather than the usual bikini-cut leotards. 

They want to push back against what the country's sport federation DTB has called "sexualisation in gymnastics”.

The Norwegian women's beach handball team also refused to play in bikini bottoms during European tournaments, opting instead for skin-tight shorts. For that, they received a fine for violating a wardrobe requirement.
