Do I understand correctly Nigeria will have two female flag bearers ? thats a new ! Bach will be hyper happy :lol:

 

World and Commonwealth wrestling medalist Odunayo Adekuoroye was chosen as the flag bearer while she will be assisted by African record holder in the long jump Ese Brume

Yeah the sentences are vague, but other articles mentioned Ese Brume is for the closing

The article from Nigeria Guardian is even more confusing, talking about "2018 Olympics in Russia".

One thing to be sure is that Odunayo Adekuoroye will carry the flag

They will probably announce today that 2 time gold/5 time medalist Maria Grozdeva will be our flag bearer. This will be her second time, as she also was in Athens 2004. 

 

With our tragically minimalistic team, and having the wrestlers arrive after the Games have started, there was really no other options imo.

And probably Antony Ivanov... It would be a symbol of transition between past and future :mumble:

Does anyone know what the parade of nations will look like? I mean will it just be the flag bearers alone for each nation?

According to the latest news, there will be athletes but the guys in charge are still talking about how they will limit it.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
