Skirts for Female Boxers, "Elegant and Womanly"
 

Interesting. They are looking our way! :) Amateur International Boxing Association wants skirts for Olympians.

"That's right, skirts. The AIBA has introduced a trial alternate uniform, asking female boxers to wear skirts because it will make the women easier to distinguish from the men, as if the completely different bodies wasn't enough. Poland adopted the uniform, calling the uniforms more "elegant" and "womanly." "


"There are other Olympians who wear skirts while competing. Ice skaters wear dresses created by top designers, but what their performance looks like matters. Tennis and field hockey players wear skirts and kilts, but both outfits are part of those sport's heritage."

Some how "elegant" and "womanly" just doesn't seem to go with "boxing."

I was not actually going to acknowledge this with a response, but I have to agree. Especially with the term 'elegant'. I have seen some of what described in skating, and I do not find them to be elegant or lady-like although womanly might be a bit of an understatement. Just another reason to stay away from 'professional' sports.

Now, can we get the women mud wrestlers to wear skirts?
