With the hours ticking down to the start of the Olympic Games in Rio and Saturday’s men’s road race, many of the team kits have been made public on social media. Plenty are striking in appearance, illustrating the attention to detail that national Olympic federations and kit designers have shown.
Here are some of those kits; seeing them in advance of the weekend road race should make identification of the athletes somewhat easier. Got a favourite? Let us know in the comments section below.
