Members of the Australian Olympic Team have revealed the uniform they will wear at the Tokyo 2021 Games.

Australian Olympic Committee Chef de Mission Ian Chesterman said: “(The design) is absolutely world-class, it’s maximised the performance, and it also looks terrific.

“There will be millions of peoples cheering and watching back home for our athletes, and I’m sure that they’ll be thrilled to see our team looking so good.”

An indigenous training shirt — designed by Australian boxer Paul Fleming — has been included for the first time.

It features 52 footsteps, representing the 52 indigenous athletes who have competed for Australia at Olympic level.

Tom O’Halloran - the first male to represent Australia in sport climbing- was among the athletes modelling the iconic green and gold kits.

“You can’t help but feel inspired, “ O’Halloran said. “To showcase climbing to Australia and the world is incredible and I can’t wait to add to the proud history of Australia and the Games.”

Some 480 Australian athletes are expected to travel to Tokyo in July.
