The International Handball Federation (IHF) has changed its uniform rules after it was criticised for requiring female beach players to wear bikinis.

The governing authority had been under pressure since a row over its dress code erupted at the European championships in July.
Norway's female team were fined €1,500 (£1,269; $1,737) after their players wore shorts instead of bikini bottoms.

The fine was branded sexist and led to calls to scrap mandatory clothing.
