The Irish Olympic gear conflict has now caught the attention of a worldwide web page.

Runnersworld.com, which carries athletics news from all around the world, carries out a weekly poll on the most debatable issues facing the sport. This week it asks what the Irish team should wear.

Introducing the problem, it then asks the readers: "Where do you stand? Irish track Olympians should wear . . ." Readers can later view the final results of the poll.
