While most of our focus is on the Olympians, you can’t help but look at what they’re wearing. The relationship between sports and fashion (especially during the Olympics) is a significant one. Olympians know the importance of representing their country and many want to stand out.
Cathy Freeman made history when she wore a memorising Nike Swiftsuit in green, gold, and grey whilst winning her 400m race. She became the second Australian Aboriginal Olympic champion. Our very own Linford Christie turned heads in 1996 when he wore blue Puma contact lenses. The Olympics allows athletes to express their style and individuality and no one knows this better than Team GB sprinter Imani-Lara-Lansiquot.
