Pink is raising a glass to the Norwegian women’s beach handball team, after the ladies chose to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms to the European Beach Handball Championships last week.

The team was fined €1500 by the European Handball Federation for the move, which was cited as “improper” even though the shorts were similar to those worn by their male counterparts.
