Olympian investigated for wearing mankini at showjumping event

Three-time Olympic medalist Shane Rose says he hopes “common sense prevails” after being stood down for wearing a mankini at an equestrian event. This comes after a complaint was made about his attire at a fancy dress showjumping competition. “I went into the competition as a fun competition,” Mr Rose told Sky News Australia. “I had no intention of offending anyone. “It’s a dress-up competition – people have worn bikinis before and I just thought it would be quite funny to come along in a mankini.”
