When it comes to bikinis, what you think of is wearing them to enjoy the sunshine on the beach or swim in the swimming pool, right? But what you don’t notice is that bikinis have a close relation with sports. Just like Romeo and Juliet, these two have fallen in love with each other when they met at the first time. Bikinis are official uniforms of some sports, such as beach volleyball. And next we will introduce their love story to you detailedly.
Complexity and Simplicity
Beach volleyball
In 1994, bikinis became official uniforms of women’s Olympic beach volleyball games. And in 1999, the International Volleyball Federation(FIVB) rolled out standards of beach volleyball uniforms with the names of players written on the back of bottoms. However, it led to both criticism and approval. Some people thought that these uniforms were impractical while others held that bikinis wouldn’t restrict movements. Earlier in 2012, FIVB agreed to allow players wear shorts and sleeved tops.
Body building
From the 1950s to the mid 1970s, men’s body building competitions often were held with women’s beauty contests or bikini shows. And women winners were titled as Miss Body Beautiful, Miss Physical Fitness and Miss Americana and gave trophies to male winners. In November 2010, the International Federation of Body Building & Fitness (IFBBF) introduced a bikini contest for women who didn’t want to build their muscles to participate in the Ms Olympia competition. Bikinis are official costumes for both men and women to join competitions related to body building. Men are required to wear swim trunks only.
