This is Australia’s first and only Olympic ice hockey team. There’s a bit of a Cool Runnings tale here – a country known for surf and sunshine rather than ice rinks – taking on USA and Czechoslovakia. They lost both matches, 18 – 1 against the Czechs and 12 – 1 to USA, placing them ninth of…. nine teams.
Still what they lacked in medals, they clearly made up for in sartorial prowess. Pin-striped suit trousers, patent black shoes (I would not like to walk on snow in those!) and a mustard-coloured sweater with a Peter Pan collar. They look like some sort of Nordic Christmas choir. Poor Australia, they produce talent like Torah and then disastrous outfits like this.
