(Reuters) - Australia's Olympic swimming head coach Rohan Taylor has praised the United States team as the 'standard of the sport' in a bid to ease tensions following a media campaign which hyped up the nations' rivalry in the leadup to the Paris Games.
Fashion will nevertheless be front and centre during Paris Olympics opening ceremony on July 26. - MICHEL & AMAZONKA, STELLA JEAN, LULULEMON
The Straits Times highlights eight winners and losers to look out for during the spectacle, which will be streamed live on Singtel TV, Cast.SG and mewatch on July 27 at 1.30am.If the matter of national uniforms is a best-dressed competition judged by the online masses, Mongolia can probably take a victory lap.
Look closely, and you will see various motifs embroidered on the tunics, collars and cuffs – such as the Olympic torch and rings, along with traditional Mongolian cloud and mountain patterns.Team Canada will keep cool in more ways than one while dressed in their maple-red athleisure outfits made by popular Canadian activewear label Lululemon.
The women’s skirt is paired with a light blue chambray shirt and a sleeveless blazer made from recycled fabric, while the men’s trousers are paired with a striped shirt, scarf and jacket inspired by the Guayabera shirt favoured by Haitian men.Meanwhile, a TikTok user wondered: “Are they going to a fashion show or what? My gosh, the uniform is beautiful.”At first glance, the Czech contingent’s uniforms – designed by Czech sportswear label Alpine Pro – are startling.
Pairing the sleeveless jacket with a skirt makes it even more dowdy. It is more reminiscent of line judges from the Wimbledon tennis tournament circa a decade ago than of top athletes in 2024. The ribbing was savage enough that the Olympic Council went back to the drawing board with official manufacturer Yonex Sunrise.
There is a marginal improvement in the women’s outfits, which seems to do away with the neck ties and the top buttons on the shirts. But there is no coming back from those jeans.Team Singapore has mostly stuck to a core uniform of a red jacket and light-coloured trousers for the last few Olympics Games, including Tokyo 2020.
