This dress code is really stupid !
First, what does mean:
Second, did they try to shoot in " training suits, tracksuits or warm-up uniforms," in tropical countries like Thailand ? Many shooters, especially women, use in such conditions the prohibited "sleeveless T-shirts, shorts that are too short" and "all types of sandals" that are not offensing by any means and widely used by other sports top athletes.
