You look like the bold, cheerful, "we don't care what you think of us" Americans whom we all love.

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
On my list of "things I care about", Olympic opening ceremony uniforms checks in around 1,389. The opening ceremony itself does slightly better at 1,274. Then again, I'm not embarrassed to wear running shirts with big gnarly nip stains from using Vaseline.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
All they need are baseball caps, white athletic shoes, and big prosthetic beer bellies to be the perfect American tourists.
I actually enjoy the opening ceremonies. I like seeing all the countries, noting how many athletes they are sending, and seeing whom they have chosen to carry the flag. And some of them have pretty interesting outfits.

I thought the American uniforms were a joke the first time I saw them.
Let me rephrase that: The American uniforms ARE a joke.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
faster than a glacier
Agreed. I love watching the Olympics, but you couldn't pay me to watch the opening or closing ceremonies, no matter what the uniforms looked like. I can't wait for the curling events. I'm strangely fascinated by that odd sport.

What if it were you ? You train your whole life, bust your ass, reach that loftiest of goals, and then they say : Here, put this on while the whole world laughs at you.
Makes me glad I grew up in a warm state.....
Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!

The designer had a vision, and the more I see them outfits, the more I am starting to see it.

Maybe the $795 "not shown" jacket is the pièce de résistance that will turn this into a thing of beauty.
But I'm not counting on it.
