Russian Olympic warm-up jacket

I'm trying to find an Russian Olympic warm-up jacket for my adult daughter. Nothing political, she just likes the colors. All my searches just turn up U.S. stuff. Any suggestions?
Also, it might prove fruitful to poke around in olympic.ru and athens-2004.ru.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're both red white and blue, no?

Milovoo's first link appears to (quite naturally) focus on the Spartak team rather than the Olympics.
According to this, a company known as Bosco de Ciliegi has a contract to sell Russian Olympic uniforms. Here appears to be an online catalog for male clothing (change the male to female in the URL and bingo - the female page). Sadly, the "where to buy" section merely lists stores in Moscow; I can find no online sales links.
The clothing will undoubtedly become available through other sources, but you might have to wait a bit for them to pop up in stores that will speak your language and ship to your country.

I thought spartek was the brand, not a team. I'm glad you found the right place.
That floral design is awesome, I want one too.

How about those neatCanada t-shirts with the country name in Greek lettering? They were wearing them at the closing ceremony. Looks like Roots isn't selling them though.

What was that weird little mouse/monkey/bear plushie thing so many of the Russian athletes were carrying around?

Cheburashka is something like a Russian equivalent of Hello Kitty. Also, apparently, it's a nickname for the An-72/74 line of military aircraft.

I want a "team lithuania" basketball jersey.
I hear the U.S. B-ball jerseys can be had real cheap.

Those are actually a stuffed version of the mummified remains of Lenin. Sorry.

Wow, thanks casarkos! I'll have to keep my eyes open for the little guy when I'm in Japan, apparently. That first link makes him look a lot more endearing than he was on tv.
