By Ben Kelly
The official kit for Team GB at Rio 2016 has been unveiled by Stella McCartney, with 100 days to go until the Olympic Games begin in Brazil.
McCartney was joined by diver Tom Daley and track and field star Jessica Ennis-Hill among others, as she unveiled the red, white and blue outfits our athletes will compete in this summer.
Tom’s pants appear to be deep navy and white, with patterns and logos on the front.
The 2012 kit was also designed by McCartney, again in association with Adidas, but this year it’s 10% lighter and made from a breathable synthetic fabric which will help the athletes go further and faster.

Ennis-Hill is quoted as saying, “It’s an amazing design and I think it will give British athletes a massive sense of pride and give us an edge in Rio.”
2012 triathlon champion Jonathan Brownlee also shared an image of his new kit for the summer, which he says “looks great.”
Love the @adidasUK 2016 Olympic kit. The new design looks great. Think it looks better on me though! pic.twitter.com/0HANXe8CGz
