"We are there to do our job, but are being prevented from wearing our work clothes," Borger told a German radio station. "This is really the only country and the only tournament where a government tells us how to do our job – we are criticizing that."


quote:

German professional beach volleyball stars Karla Borger and Julia Sude said Sunday they will not be going to Qatar for a tournament over an issue involving their playing attire.

Borger represented Germany in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro but lost, along with teammate Britta Buthe, in the round of 16. The pair won silver at the Beach Volleyball World Championships in 2013. Sude had partnered mostly with Chantal Labouruer during her career. Sude and Borger have been teammates since 2019.

Texas A&M has extremely close ties with Qatar.

I’m not saying they’re terrorist sympathizers, I’m just saying.

Good for those women. I mean, who doesn’t like bikinis.

And yet, and yet, does wearing a bikini really have any impact on performance?

I was a wrestler. If some conservative country had a tournament that paid good money, but they required leggings to go along with the slinglet, I don’t think I would object.

Something is lying.

quote:

"We would like to make clear that we are not making any demand on what athletes should wear at the event. We fully respect the FIVB’s Code of Conduct and have demonstrated at numerous events in Qatar in the past, including the ANOC World Beach Games, that athletes are free to compete in international uniforms as they would in other countries.

"We are greatly looking forward to welcoming some of the world’s best athletes to Doha for this prestigious competition and showcasing how during these difficult times Qatar remains able to host safe, inclusive and state-of-the-art sports events."

Why is it most women beach volleyball players have a physique resembling a 2x8 plank?
