I’d love to see the various team outfits from the jog this morning (Sweden and Italy both sound epic) but can’t find photos. Is it too early? Am I not looking in the right places? Help?
Here’s Canada. I’ll keep looking.

I didn’t care for the GB job outfit at all. I mean it was sporty, but more like I’m going for a run sporty (shorts and trainers).
Italy’s opening ceremonies uni’s are Armani, of course.
Be glad you’re not from Spain: http://www.cbssports.com/olympics/blog/eye-on-olympics/19615546/spains-athletes-dont-like-spains-olympic-uniforms-with-good-reason
(I know you’re looking for this morning’s jog uniforms, and the COH site says photos of those will be up this afternoon, but I couldn’t resist showing you these).
Here are a few from NBC:

OK I never thought I would say this…
It seems it is possible to make William Fox-Pitt look bad. Very bad.
A truly sad day for all…

From a non eventing background person: Is William Fox-Pitt that tall, or is he competing with a large pony?
Agree on the outfit. :no:
WFP is very tall - and he has that extremely long neck! Not a good outfit for him, or any of them for that matter. I am hardly a stick in the mud, but thought it was a bit too casual.
I thought Nina looked lovely!

OMG that first picture of Zara is horrid. :lol: Why would you publish that?!
Amend that: ALL the pictures of Zara are horrid.
must take some effort to design an outfit that makes incredibly fit athletes look dumpy
I love the orchids in Nina’s hair in the shot from behind. Just lovely!
Ugh, the Brits team uniforms look about like what our team work to walk the XC course. What were the designers thinking? Those seem way too casual for a jog.
Does that mean those are the Brits opening ceremony outfits as well? Seems rather lackadaisical for a country that is usually known for doing formal so beautifully.
Looooove Nina. She looks great, especially the orchids in her hair.
Great Britain looks awful. Dumpy gym teacher is not a good look for anyone.
USA is sort of…meh.
I found Canada here, and approve: http://eventingnation.com/home/let-the-games-begin-your-olympic-first-jog-wrap-up.html. Based on Mark Todd, though, New Zealand is not great.
I would guess, based on what I see the American riders wearing, that these are not necessarily the same as the opening ceremony outfits - I’ve seen the American versions of those.
Nina looks gorgeous. +1 on the orchids in her hair!

Oooh, I agree. Nina looked fantastic! And the Canadians win my best-dressed award.
NZ’s jog outfit was thisclose to being a win. The piping makes it look a little lounge-lizard-y
I thought you dressed up, like in business-wear, for the jog? I agree that the USA and GB riders look very frumpy.
Off the wall question about the flora and fauna in the pix
I was looking at the photo of Mark Todd jogging. The flowers caught my eye. I am a sucker for blue flowers. They didn’t look quite like Hydrangeas, but they sorta kinda looked like Hydrangeas. Does any one there know? It was such an intense blue.
Where are y’all finding pictures of non US and non Brits at the jog. I particularly enjoyed NBC saying all of the athletes were running with their horses. 
Looked like hydrangeas to me (re: flora Q)
Although I’m not a botanist.
