I have a Canadian friend who is both a member of IAABO and a FIBA official and years ago he officiated an exhibition game. It was a women's game between a college from the province of Ontario and the national team of a Scandinavian country. I will not name the college and country to protect the innocent. None the less, it was discovered that the international team had brought its home jersies instead of its away jersies. The manager of the home team went to the locker room and got the away jersies to lend to the international team. Everybody thought that the international team would go to its locker room and change jersies. Everybody in the facility was suprised that the players on the international team did not shave their underarms nor did most of them wear bras, , when they played basketball.

Are you sure they weren't French?

Different sport, but...

Many moons ago I was at Volleyball Nationals (USVBA, AAU, I can't remember). A very good juniors girls team from Orange County, CA, was scheduled to play a team that included some former national team members. In a previous match the latter team was discovered to have jerseys that didn't conform to the rules. Word got out that the juniors team planned to protest the jerseys. Word also got out that the "older" team planned to call the bluff of the juniors team, and change into different jerseys on the court if the juniors team protested. Like the players in the OP, several of the players on the "older" team liked the free and breezy life. Needless to say, a lot of people attended the match. When the juniors team did, indeed, protest the jerseys, the "older" team switched jerseys right on the court. Discretion proved to be the better part of valor, however; they were all wearing bras (in the time way before sports bras). The "older" team then proceeded to pummel the juniors team.

You got that right. My wife's family is Swedish. She has three sisters. "Shy" is not a word I would include in any description of them.

BTW - I have a poster that I photoshopped my wife's photo onto. It says, "SWEDISH GIRLS - making British girls look ugly since 1428".
