The Czech team has a uniform and they are sticking to it.

They marched into Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony in blue wellies, colorful long shorts and zany umbrellas — a humorous nod to London's unpredictable weather. And on Thursday, Zuzana Hejnova of the Czech Republic stepped up to the podium to accept her bronze in the 400-meter hurdles in the same blue wellies and shorts. No umbrella.

It's not clear if that fashion choice will stand the test of time.
