The International Swimming Federation finally approves protective Black hair swim cap | Local Sports
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on September 17, 2022
The FINA committee banned the caps for not following "the natural form of the head" for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. The ruling meant the caps were not eligible or certified for international competition.
After more than a year following their rejection of Soul Caps in July 2021, the caps are now approved.Â
The U.S. team has only two black female swimmers, Simone Manuel and Natalie Hinds.
Manuel said she was disappointed with the ruling of banning caps . . .
