When I asked Cregg Weinmann, he did not flinch! Of course, as the footwear and apparel reviewer for the Running Network, Cregg deals with minutae and esoterica each and every day of his life. This report is fascinating, again, thanks to still photography, emails, phone calls, video and the limited minutes NBC gave to athletics, Cregg’s report adds to the knowledge of the athletic marketing wars in Beijing….


Medal Winning Uniform Brands (Federations)
The careful observer may have noticed that the different athletics federations which won medals in the individual events in Beijing were arrayed in a variety of brands of sportswear. The statistical breakdown is an interesting view of the spectrum of technical apparel available across the globe. The number of teams outfitted by the largest brands totaled similar tallies, though the medal winners created some distinct figures. The successes of some federations elevated the profile of certain brands, notably Puma, which outfitted a comparable number of teams to the totals of Nike and adidas, the three combining for an aggregate of 49 of the participating federations, and 28 of the 39 federations which won medals. One peculiarity of the apparel situation was the arrangement adidas had as the official sportswear sponsor of the Beijing Olympic Games – though some federations had existing deals with another brand, for instance the US team had a uniform and warmup agreement to wear Nike, but some federations stipulated only the uniform, so wore adidas on the victory stand. Several federations had arrangements to wear brands manufactured in their country, which swelled the number to 13 different brands from 10 countries on 5 continents.
