REUTERS: Welsh Paralympic world champion Olivia Breen said she was left shocked and dismayed when an official at Sunday's English Championships in Bedford told her that her sprint briefs were"too short and inappropriate".
"I feel disappointed because just as I finished my long jump competition one of the female officials felt it necessary to inform me that my sprint briefs were too short and inappropriate," Breen said on Twitter https://twitter.com/BreenOlivia/status/1416798419088203781. "I will hopefully be wearing them in Tokyo. It made me question whether a male competitor would be similarly criticised. I hope no other female athletes had similar issues."Breen added that"women should not be made to feel self conscious" about their kits.
