Paralympian Olivia Breen says official called her shorts "too short and inappropriate"

Olivia Breen, a two-time Paralympic world champion, said a volunteer official called her sprinting shorts "too short and inappropriate" at the English Championships.

Breen, 24, said she was left "speechless" after a female official made the remark at the English Championships after she finished the long jump competition on Sunday. She said she hopes no other athletes were made to feel uncomfortable at the games.  "I have been wearing the same style spring briefs for many years and they are specifically designed for competing in. I will hopefully be wearing them in Tokyo. It made me question whether a male competitor would be similarly criticized," Breen said in a statement.
