These names weren't actually discussed in media recently with Sindhu even talking about how it would be as a flagbearer , maybe some scheduling issues or something with her, this will be the final flagbearer choice for India.

When Iran announced just one flagbearer for the Games, I wasn't sure if they simply ignored Bach's stupid advice or they simply weren't aware of that. (that's completely possible with Iranian officials, sometimes they don't just read letters)

unfortunately it seems they just didn't know that. and now Iran is considering having two flagbearers at the Games they already announced the name of two flagbearers for the Paralympics.

I think IOC is forcing NOCs to choose 2 unless it's a small nation with no elligible athletes in a gender to compete.

Thomas Zajac and Tanja Frank the only Rio 2016 medalists will be the flagbearers of our south-west neighbors

surely IOC can't do that

[hckošice 14,822]

well, I would not say IOC is Forcing NOCs to pick 2 flagbearers, rather recommends

 

At least it is what our NOC president said, IOC recommends NOCs to select a male and female to carry the flag at the opening ceremony.
