    Hungry, eh?

    As fans filed in to watch the men’s artistic team all-around final, heads turned to the Canadian team – who stole the spotlight – thanks to their tracksuits.

    The squad, consisting of Rene Cournoyer, William Emard, Zachary Clay, Felix Dolci and Samuel Zakutney, sought its first medal in the event after finishing seventh at the 2023 World Championships.

    However, the Canadians fell short with a total of 245.426, good enough for eighth place, while Japan claimed gold by posting a score of 259.594.

    Team USA notched a bronze medal, trailing a star-studded China team that took home silver.

    But social media was more concerned with what Canada was wearing ahead of the event, instead of how they performed.

    Their tracksuits, produced by American-Canadian athletic retailer Lululemon Athletica, closely resembled Canadian bacon.

    Fans poked fun at the strange outfits.

    “We don’t call it Canadian bacon for nothin,” one fan wrote on X – per The Mail .

    Looking back to Beijing 2022, Canada also showed up with eye-captivating outfits. Canadian hockey star John Tavares was pictured on X wearing another Lululemon-inspired outfit, which set social media ablaze.

    Users commented on how the outfit was “so bad,” while others expressed concern about what Team USA would wear.
