Controversies edit

After the European Handball Federation (EHF) fined the Norwegian women's team for wearing shorts like the men's team instead of the required bikini bottom, the EHF said it would donate the amount paid by the Norwegian team "to a major international sports foundation which supports equality for women and girls in sports." American singer Pink said she offered to pay the fine.[4]
