In a rare move, the uniforms that Team USA Track and Field athletes will wear in Beijing were previewed in front of the crowd at Hayward Field Monday night at the Olympic Track Trials in Eugene.

The uniforms Team USA will wear in Beiking at the Summer Olympics.

The Nike uniforms were modeled between events at Monday's competition, worn by Track and Field athletes who had already qualified in Eugene for the Olympic team.

Among those proudly sporting the uniforms was newly crowned 800 meter champion Nick Symmonds, who only hours earlier had told an NBC interviewer he'd dreamed of putting on the USA uniform for the past two years.
