    South Korea's Olympic committee on Wednesday unveiled Zika-proof long-sleeved shirts and pants it says will help protect the country's Olympic athletes from the mosquito-borne virus at this year's games in Rio de Janeiro.

    The sets of clothing will be impregnated with mosquito-repellent chemicals and will be worn by athletes during ceremonies, training and at the athletes' village, the Korean Olympic Committee said. The committee said it couldn't make changes to the uniforms worn during competition because of strict rules and performance concerns, although athletes will be allowed to use spray during competition.

    Italy

    Each athlete will receive tracksuits and waterproof jackets with short and long sleeves.
    The Armani kit will also contain short-sleeved and long-sleeved blue polo shirts bearing the words “Fratelli d’Italia” (Brothers of Italy), Bermuda shorts, cargo pants and shorts.

    The lining of the jackets and sweatshirts carries the first verse of the Italian national anthem in gold italic script. The opening words of the anthem also appear on the blue strip, under the raised collar, of the polo shirt. (my note - LOVE ideas like this)

    Sweden



    H&M designed a wide-range of uniforms for their home country's Olympic and Paralympic athletes that include outfits for the opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies, and athletic competitions in between.

    H&M will unveil a new collection inspired by the uniforms this summer with former-Olympian Caitlyn Jenner serving as the campaign's frontwoman.

    Estonia



    The blue, black and white nautical-themed collection was designed by Monton, in collaboration with the EOK, and influenced by the Baltic nation's connection to the sea — a connection which is also being celebrated in Estonia with the 2016 Year of Maritime Culture.

    Olympics to continue unchanged despite political crisis in Brazil

    RIO DE JANEIRO — The venues are, in the words of organizers, 99 percent ready. The torch is winding its way around the country in a three-month relay ending at the opening ceremony.
    Even if the country is preoccupied with the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, organizers insist the Olympics won’t be touched by the ongoing political turmoil.

    Even if the impeachment battle temporarily tapers off with Rousseff’s suspension, Rio still faces myriad problems, making South America’s first Olympics the most contentious in decades.

    Brazil is mired in the deepest recession since the 1930s, and it’s at the epicenter of the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which has been proven to cause birth defects in newborn babies.
    The country is also gripped by a $3 billion corruption scandal at state-run oil giant Petrobras with many of the same construction companies working on Olympic projects.
    Other worries include slow ticket sales, $500 million cuts to balance the operating budget, and the death of two men last month when a newly built Olympic-legacy bike lane collapsed into the sea.

    The state of Rio de Janeiro has also chopped $550 million from its security budget (about 20 percent), a big worry since the state will provide about 65,000 of the 85,000 police and soldiers to patrol the games.
