Original review summary

The post falsely links Brazil’s Olympic uniforms to the change in leadership at the Ministry of Sport. The review says the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB), a nongovernmental organization, is responsible for providing the uniforms; Riachuelo created this year’s designs with COB, and production began in 2020.[S1]

Additional context

The leadership change was officialized in September 2023; the review says uniform production had started about three years earlier. [S1]

The review says the COB assigned different uniform categories to its partners: Riachuelo for travel clothing, Riachuelo and Havaianas for the opening ceremony, and Peak for podium, Olympic Village, and training uniforms. [S1]
