Olympic Fashion…Then and Now…

Have you been glued to your television screens throughout the night and early mornings? Well I have and it’s just getting better and better! When I look at what the athletes used to wear and what they are wearing now in tennis and on the track the changes have been drastic.

Here are a few pictures, of yesteryear outfits and what’s being worn in Beijing now. What do you think? Which do you prefer?
