With Rio 2016 now less than a year away, adidas have got the ball rolling with their Olympics range.

adidas unveiled its cutting-edge adizero XVI swimsuit, combining intelligent materials and intuitive fit to be its fastest swimsuit ever. It's already supported by the brand's leading athletes, Cesar Cielo, Michael Andrew and Allison Schmitt.

adidas worked with biomechanics, physiologists, fabric and pattern experts, plus a global pool of elite athletes to create the game-changing adizero XVI, enabling swimmers to achieve their maximum speed. The ground-breaking technology features three advancements; energy optimisation (X-TRA ENERGY), intelligent materials (X-TRA FLOW) and a stroke-specific biometric fit (X-TRA FIT).

The swimsuits will be worn by Team GB next summer.

The adizero XVI, available for men and women will be on sale from February 2016 at adidasswim.com and selected speciality retail partners around the world.
