I really don't get why they mention those two specific teams. Men's handball could have at least one potential flag bearer but play even earlier than the football team.

 

Personally I would pick Rissveds and Salminen thoug Sofia Mattson and Peder Fredricson could do it as well.

I agree. They could have mentioned the men’s handball team. But I doubt it will be anyone from them too. 
 

Nice picks btw. :)

According to wiki, :USA  flag bearers are Kevin Durant(Basketball) and Katie Ledecky(Swimming). Chinese media widely reported this news from Wikipedia. Can anyone confirm this?

This would be so awesome. The more people outside of mountainbiking and/or Sweden can hear about her, the better. True inspiration.

Jamaica clearly does not go with the Chinese and Vietnamese 'They have to be tall' rule by choosing the Pocket Rocket :d

I doubt. They usually pick "less known sports athletes" as flag bearers, well except Phelps, but that was for another reason

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
