For the hockey goals, nets, corner posts, team shelters and sin bins that will be in use at Stade Yves-du-Manoir is supplied by Harrod Sport, from its base on the South Lowestoft industrial estate.

It is the fourth Olympics in a row that the firm has supplied, since its debut at London 2012 and it comes as Harrod marks its 70th anniversary.

Personnel from the company will remain on-site in Paris throughout the tournament, to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

A Harrod Sport spokesman said: "It is a tremendous honour to be part of such a prestigious event once again - with the historic Yves du Manoir Stadium hosting the hockey events this year, putting our goals right in the spotlight."

The Team GB sides should be familiar with the kit as they have been using Harrod Sport equipment in their warm up matches at the Lee Valley Hockey Centre and at their Bisham Abbey training site.
