Uniforms for Glasgow championships unveiled
The uniforms to be worn by officials and volunteers at the Glasgow 2018 European Championships have been unveiled as the countdown to the inaugural event continues.
Former champion swimmer Rebecca Adlington launched the kit, which is predominantly dark purple with light grey for volunteers, while officials will wear the reverse colours.
The event brings together the previously individual European Championships in athletics, aquatics, cycling, gymnastics, rowing and triathlon, plus a new golf event.
It is being hosted jointly by Glasgow and Berlin, with hopes of elevating the status of European Championships in each sport and attracting a large continental audience.
Adlington will be part of the BBC coverage of the action, which starts on 2 August.
She said the outfits looked great, adding: “I loved my time in Glasgow during the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The atmosphere in the city, and especially at Tollcross, was incredible and I’m sure Glasgow 2018 will be no different.”
