Los gorros de baño que fueron diseñados para nadadores con cabello afro no podrán ser utilizados en los próximos Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio, luego que la entidad rectora del deporte determinó que no son adecuados para las competiciones.
La marca británica Soul Cap había pedido a la Federación Internacional de Natación (FINA) que avalara oficialmente sus productos, pero la solicitud presentada el año pasado fue rechazada. La compañía fabrica unos gorros con mayores dimensiones para proteger un cabello más espeso, rizado y voluminoso.

Swimming caps designed for natural Black hair won’t be allowed at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, with the sport’s world governing body saying they are unsuitable due to them not “following the natural form of the head.” The British brand Soul Cap sought to have its products officially recognised by FINA, but its application submitted last year was rejected. The company makes extra-large caps designed to protect thick, curly, and voluminous hair. The caps were barred by FINA on the grounds that to their “best knowledge, the athletes competing at the international events never used, neither require to use, caps of such size and configuration.”
