The so-called “skinsuit” incorporates adidas’s TECHFIT technology, designed to keep the athletes cool in the humid environment expected in Beijing this August.

World champion Pendleton has had a busy week - yesterday she launched the ‘Golds for Girls’ initiative at the Manchester velodrome before hot-footing it down to London for today’s kit launch in the adidas store.
