Switzerland sent 47 athletes to the European Championships in Amsterdam, 6–10 July 2016, forty of them as individual starters. By the federation's own count they came home with five medals and thirteen places in the top eight.
The two golds came in the same race and belonged to the same man. Tadesse Abraham, born in Eritrea, won the half marathon in 1:02:03, and his time led the Swiss six to the team title by two seconds over Spain. The bronzes were all on the track: Mujinga Kambundji in the 100 m, Kariem Hussein in the 400 m hurdles two years after winning the event in Zürich, and Léa Sprunger in the women's 400 m hurdles, in 55.41.
Behind the medals sat a deep row of near misses. Selina Büchel and Clélia Rard-Reuse were both fourth, in the 800 m and the 100 m hurdles; Fabienne Schlumpf was fifth in the steeplechase; Angelica Moser, aged eighteen, was seventh in the pole vault.
A team t-shirt is the training and travel piece of an issued athletics kit — worn in the hotel, the bus and the warm-up area, never in the race. It carries the same federation badge as the competition kit, in street sizing and heavier knits.
The modern issue is polyester — 50 of the 56 tees in this archive declare it — because cotton holds twenty times the moisture. Cotton survives at the travel end of the set, where nobody sweats and softness wins.
The team tee is the piece of an issued kit that never starts a race. It is what athletes wear in the hotel, on the bus, in the food hall and through the warm-up — the working uniform of everything around competition. It carries the same federation or team badge as the race kit, which is why it belongs to the same issued set and why collectors treat it as kit rather than merchandise.
