Adidas's Olympic gaffe

Adidas has made a blunder of quite Olympic proportions. The sportswear giant, which sponsors the German Olympic team, provided 30 German skiers participating in the winter games with caps in Belgian national colours, according to Reuters.

The company provided the athletes with caps in Belgium's black-gold-red instead of Germany black-red-gold. "We regret this technical mistake and do apologize to all athletes," said a spokesman for the company. The colour-appropriate caps are currently being produced and will arrive in Turin next week.
