However their athletes perform at the Olympics, Spain should at least be guaranteed the gold medal for the worst-dressed athletes thanks to this unsightly get-up.
Thankfully, when they are training and competing, Olympic athletes spend most of their time in spandex outfits where style takes a back seat to performance and comfort, but the Spanish athletes are certain to attract a few sympathetic looks around the Olympic village when they walk around in this polo tee-shirt.
