Olympics Costumes That Made a Statement

If you were born after 1980, you definitely don’t remember the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. But for those that recall that time 41 years ago, you’re probably thinking about “Miracle on Ice” right this second, and not Eric Heiden’s five gold medals in speedskating.

Well, think about that, instead! Before Michael Johnson’s gold running shoes, Heiden boasted what appeared to be a painted-on golden bodysuit. And guess what? He won Gold while wearing the color gold! That’s called wearing what you want into existence, folks. Actualize your dreams! Thankfully, he didn’t crumble under the pressure.
