Volleyball is a beach sport. Men often play shirtless in short shorts. They don't get to do that in the Olympics. While the women's uniforms are minimal, they have a choice. They train on a beach in sand in a swim suit most of the time. Competing in the same attire is pretty reasonable right?
I could not imagine playing a sport surrounded by sand if I didn't have the option of wearing something I could easily shake the sand out of. The less fabric that can become sandpaper, the better.
They've had beach volleyball matches going very late, it's kinda ridiculous. Some of the competitors have worn under armor shirts and leggings beneath their bikini uniforms
