Clothing inspired by Ondrej Nepela
The clothing collection of the Slovak Olympic Team for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics emphasises functionality, comfort and the visual identity of Slovakia. A distinctive element is the reference to the legend of Slovak sport, Ondrej Nepela, Olympic champion in figure skating and Slovak Sportsman of the 20th century. One of the mandatory exercises in figure skating, in which Ondrej Nepela once excelled, is modified on the clothing into a symbol resembling a four-leaf clover, a sign of luck and togetherness. From above, these lines take the form of four people holding each other around the shoulders. The collection also carries the message of the “We Stick Together” campaign, which emphasises the values of teamwork and solidarity between athletes, fans and the whole of Slovakia.
