Will Carla Burger and Julia Soda, two representatives of the German beach volleyball team, boycott the upcoming World Cup round tournament in Qatar?

At least according to the latest reports, the two decided to stay in Germany and not fly to this prestigious competition for the sake of the organizers' modesty.

The volleyball players, who are known to play with bikinis, are angry with the organizers of the competition, who in principle do not allow to appear in competition with the familiar bikini in which the player of all teams has been performing since beach volleyball became an Olympic sport (1996).

"It is a great pity that we are simply prevented from wearing our work clothes to the tournament," Burger explained to the German media. It just hurts us. "

It should be noted that the World Volleyball Association has indeed issued an official statement in which it has asked all participants of the tournament to come to the games in modest attire with shirts and slightly longer pants in order to respect the tradition in the organizing country.
