Li-Ning debuts Olympic outfits

HONG KONG - Chinese sporting goods brand Li-Ning has launched a seven-day roadshow in Hong Kong's Mong Kok district to unveil the collection of sporting outfits designed for China's Olympic hopefuls.

The outfits will be worn by the four teams with serious chances of a gold medal - diving, table tennis, shooting and gymnastics.

The roadshow includes a catwalk show to preview the collection and a photo exhibition to showcase the brand’s involvement in The Olympic Games and other international sports events.

An ‘Olympic culture’ T-shirt collection, featuring a design based on the host cities of previous Olympics, will be sold in Li-Ning’s flagship store in Hong Kong and 5000 of the brand’s retail outlets in China.

The brand was set up by Olympic gymnastics champion Li-Ning 18 years ago. Dubbed the ‘prince of gymnastics’, he won six medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
