2014 Sochi Winter Olympics - Sporting Styles


2014 Team USA opening ceremony
Clothing by Ralph Lauren
2014 Sochi Winter Olympics are just around the corner, Feb 6-23. Love the Olympics, such admiration goes out to all those athletes. My gosh, the total dedication & commitment these athletes have for the love of their sport is just incredible! A few months ago I was in Salt Lake City, doing my little work out in the hotel gym. I never pay attention to anyone in the gym, I just get in my own zone. While in my zone, doing my warm up on the elliptical, out of the corner of my eye, I thought "Damn, he has some seriously huge calves & quads"! Then, I thought "Geez, wish I had her muscled up ass"! This chick quickly got out of her workout zone, looked around and there it was a gym full of athletes all muscled & chiseled, not your typical peeps you find in hotel gyms! This chick was feeling total gym intimidation! After talking to one of them, they were in Salt Lake City area for 2014 Winter Olympic Speed Skating trials.! Athletes from all over the world, Japan, Italy, and good ol' USA to name a few. Whether it is the speed skaters sprinting across the ice for the fastest time, snowboarders doing tricks and acrobatic type maneuvers in the half-pipe event, or figure skaters attempting the most difficult quadruple jump-no doubt these are hard core athletes competing for the love of their country and the love of their game!
Let's talk Olympic fashion! Ralph Lauren has designed the USA Olympic Opening Ceremony uniforms, keeping up with an All-American style. Uniforms are 100% made in USA!! You can buy these Ralph Lauren 2014 Olympic Team USA fashions on their website @Ralphlauren.com. This is so cool, 100% of purchase price of the opening ceremony cardigan will be donated to the USA Olympic Committee!

2014 Team Norway Curling Team
Really takes confident men to pull this look off (the above pic). Team Norway's Curling team is
known for their way out fashion sense. Besides their red, white, & blue crazy zig zag suit (supposedly paying tribute to Norway's flag), they'll also be wearing black, flowery print pants. This chick has
really never understood curling that sweeping a stone across the ice, but for sure I will watch Olympic Curling just to see these handsome Scandanavian men in their way out fashion!

H&M for the Sweds
The Sweds will be wearing apparel designed by H&M. The Swedish team will definitely be seen on the slopes with this fast fashion, high-performance line!
And of course, the French will go to the 2014 Winter Olympics in French style. Team France will be looking chic in apparel designed by Lacoste.
Several designers are getting inspirations from the Olympics. Greg Armas' womenswear, The Assembly SS2014 Collection, was inspired by the 2014 Winter Olympics. Color theme was grays, blacks, and whites with pops neon, red, & other brights. Perfect womenswear for the athlete on the go!
