Fitness was in fashion Tuesday as Team Canada took a fresh step forward with new outfitter Lululemon unveiling the 2022 kit for the country's Olympic and Paralympic teams in Beijing.
No berets, cowboy hats or eyebrow-raising colours for this kit reveal. And say goodbye to the recent Canadian tuxedo look too.
After a group of dancers kicked off the flashy presentation with a routine featuring a mix of yoga, gymnastics and dance, the athletes modelled the gear on a makeshift runway in a downtown hotel ballroom. The podium gear had more of a knitted, elevated texture with similar colouring while the closing ceremony clothing gear was a winter white.
“Seeing it come to life with the colours and the fit and the styles, it is so cool,” said freestyle skier Cassie Sharpe. “It feels so Canadian but so modernized, I'm just really excited about it all.”
