When Australia’s Olympians compete in Paris this year, they will be wearing a kit featuring the work of Indigenous artists.

And for the first time, Australia’s rugby sevens women’s squad will be competing in dresses – a marked change from the traditional “boys uniform that didn’t fit us properly”, according to the rugby sevens captain, Charlotte Caslick, who won gold in the Rio 2016 Olympics.
