Urmas Sõõrumaa, the president of the Estonian Olympic Committee (EOK), noted at the presentation that the EOK highly appreciates cooperation with Nike, which began back in 2007. “Nike is well known not only by its innovative solutions but also by the nice attitude and kindness of its employees. I am happy that there are such responsive and talented people among us, whose efforts resulted in producing this great collection,” said Sõõrumaa.
Backed by decades of scientific
work, Nike creates apparel that facilitates performance, is tailor-suited for athletes
and disciplines, and allows to fully concentrate on competitions and
performance, eliminating any distractions.
"Before the Olympic Games,
something new and innovative is always born. Tokyo 2020 is no exception. Our top athletes know well that Nike always uses the latest
technology in their competition apparel to offer uniforms that perform great.
During the Tokyo Games the weather will be quite hot, and thus the new clothes
breathe better and have increased lightness and elasticity to make it easier
for athletes to move. The visual component is also important – an interesting
striped pattern adds dynamism to the athlete’s movements,” commented Rainer
Tops, a member of the management board of AS Jalajälg that represents Nike
in Estonia.
According to hurdler Rasmus Mägi, he was eager to see the new collection: “It is really nice! There are some beautiful colors and, I am sure, the apparel is extremely comfortable!”.
The 2020 Summer Olympics will be held from July 23 to August 8.
