Sometimes, an athlete’s attire sparks as much conversation as the game itself. This is often the case in beach volleyball, where women have been competing in bikinis for decades.
However, due to the gloomy weather conditions in Paris on the first day of the 2024 Olympics, the women’s teams from Canada and the United States played in leggings and sports bras.
The game resulted in a victory for the American pair, Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss, over the Canadian duo, Heather Bansley and Sophie Bukovec.
