Sports Around the World: 2/22-2/26

 

Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world


OLYMPICS

Fashion

Mark Moses’ mom wanted to know who makes Team USA gear.  Ralph Lauren makes the gear for the opening and closing ceremonies and Nike makes the athletic gear they wear on the podium and in interviews.

Bonus: Team Great Britain’s kit is designed by Stella McCartney for Adidas (yes, that’s Paul’s daughter).

Team Canada’s gear is available from the Hudson’s Bay Company.

With the Olympics nearing, the official time keeper of the Olympics, Omega, has released a watch to commemorate the Rio 2016.  This one is incredibly ugly but they do have a more classic looking watch that doesn’t look like a children’s toy.

U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials – Los Angeles

Congrats to the 370 runners that competed for six spots to represent the USA in Rio 2016.  It’s an incredible to feat make it to the trials!

The runner who got unexpected attention is Chris Barnacle, the self-proclaimed “World’s Fastest Stoner”.  Read more about his Olympic trial adventures here.
