NOTE 1 : STORY BEHIND THE WRONG ISSUED PRINTED NUMBER "19". "Entertaining story told by Olarra himself: "We arrived in Australia for the first match against  Marocco on September 14th, 2000. We were in the locker room ready to get dressed and when I saw the number 19, I realized that the equipment had been brought from Chile with the wrong number printed on it. According to the official list that our federation sent to the Olympic Games in advance, I was officially number "16" and number "19" was assigned officialy to Mauricio Rojas., so we had to rush to print a new one with the correct number. In the end, this shirt remained with me as a souvenir of an anecdote at these wonderful Olympic Games.

NOTE 2: This auctioned kit includes the official tie worn by Olarra and the chilean delegation during the Olympic Games + signed full team jockey from Copa America 2004
