You look at (most of) the other sports and whilst it does of course differ in terms of requirements, the style and colour schemes are the same across the squads. Except for the swimmers who all have different stuff - you'd have thought even if different swimmers have different kit suppliers, the olympic committees could liase with them to produce kit that matched the rest of the olympic team. It's particularly jarring in the relays it has to be said and the US teams are particularly divergent.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
