Bikini tensions mar Islamic games in Indonesia

"AFP - The Islamic Solidarity Games open in Indonesia this weekend following a chaotic run-up, with controversy over female athletes competing in sports bikinis adding to the turmoil.

Some nations demanded that all women cover up for the beach volleyball, track and field, and swimming events, but organisers have refused to axe the two-piece sporting outfits............"

While the Bikini bit is funny the rest of the article is interesting in that running this type of event seems to be like herding cats.

Agreed.

And those flipping out about the bikinis are the same ones demanding tolerance for dress that is standard/demanded in their culture. Oh, the irony... :rolleyes:
