The Olympics have brought some much needed light relief, but the Games haven't been without controversy, especially when it comes to female athletes' uniforms.

And it isn't just the Olympics that are in the spotlight... pop star Pink has offered to pay the fines handed out to the Norwegian Women's Beach Handball team who refused to wear bikini bottoms at the European Championships.

The Quicky speaks to an expert in gender and sport to find out why there are so many regulations requiring women in sport to wear next to nothing while their male counterparts cover up, and what happens when women choose not to follow the rules.
