“I suspect that if any team member had refused to wear the uniform, she wouldn’t have been permitted to participate”
You couldn’t be more wrong. Per the article linked earlier in this thread they were all given an option of what to wear. The athletes said they chose to wear bikinis because it was more comfortable for them.
I am sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I wasn’t referring to the bikini-wearers. I was referring to the Egyptians.
