I'm happy with them It's often way too hard to recognize the athletes, I don't get why they simply use swimming caps in full national flag colours for example (or with something distinguishing them, like orange for the Dutch).

I agree on that...and I don't understand why they don't do it...it shouldn't be that complicated, I guess... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
