Notes

Rio 2016 – swimming gear belonging to Yusra MARDINI (ROT). Photos show that Yusra Mardini, a member of the Refugee Olympic Team in Rio in 2016, wore this outfit for the two disciplines in which she competed – 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle. The New Powerskin Carbon Ultra Closedback is the latest and fastest race suit developed by Arena, and helps to optimise the swimmer’s body shape in the water. Athlete donation
