Paragraph 1
The Black Swimming Association is up in
over a ban on the use of a swim
at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. FINA, the
that regulates international swimming, has rejected an
from the brand SOUL CAP. Its product is a cap that accommodates
hairstyles and hair types. The company wants the cap certified for
swimming. It wants to help swimmers with afros, braids,
, hair extensions, weaves, and thick and
hair. FINA said it would not permit the Soul Cap because swimmers have never used a cap "of such
and configuration" before. FINA stated it would not be permitted because "it didn't fit the
form of the head".
