Hahaha... I suppose this colour combination is the closest match to England's colours of White and Red.

the purple color will overpower any other color the players are wearing. we will find out if it will look alright on TV.

Hahaha... Isn't the KOR team whose current attire colour is, more often than not, changing to purple?

I could be wrong.

I believe that IOC just happened to love the colour of our Australia’s Argyle pink diamonds;

Maybe badminton will be making the news with this pool play if there was somehow a 3 way tie in a group and they had to draw lots to see who advances! :O

But that would be pretty bad to let the hopes of a player depend on a draw of lots.

Oh well, it is highly unlikely. It doesn't even happen in FIFA WC's and it's easier for 3 way draws in there.

You are correct.

In a pool of 3, if there is a 3-way tie (win 1, lose 1, same total points won), to whom would the winner be awarded?

Just received news that Chris Hoy (Track Cycling) was named as the flag bearer for Great Britain.

For Australia, our flag bearer will not be disclosed until the eve of the opening ceremony.

If it is 1 win 1 lost each, then it goes by games, then by points. So it's rare to have a 3 way tie still with points. If somehow that happens, they draw lots.
