Double Para-world-champion Olivia Breen says she was left speechless after being told the shorts she was competing in at the English Championships were too short. Double Paralympic world champion Olivia Breen said she was left speechless after an official at the English Championships remarked that her sprint briefs were "too short and inappropriate". The 24-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, questioned whether a male competitor would have faced similar comments after her briefs were queried upon finishing the long jump in Bedford on Sunday. England Athletics called Breen on Monday morning and asked her to submit a formal complaint so they can investigate the matter.
