Green and Gold and... Silver!?

Read about the Aussie Olympic team earlybirds' uniform pick-up in Beijing here, including revelations that the march-in uniform for the opening ceremony will have lots of silver in it. Ecch. Can you say 'alfoil'? The formal uniform had been unveiled some time ago (yes, the usual flight attendant-style number with a cravatte) but it is the opening ceremony outfit that is as secret before the big day as the ceremony spectacle itself.

There is a photo slide show where we get a slight sneak-peak of some of the uniform (but sadly, no gym leotards as of yet).

Speaking of gold and silver, here is someone who has won medals of those colours. It's amazing what you find accidentally on YouTube. No, I don't know what the opening titles say either, they're too small and fade too fast. Sorry.
