Men's qualification in gymnastics is the day after the Opening Ceremony. So that makes Zonderland pretty unlikely as a flag bearer.

Maybe for the closing ceremony then, but that just really doesn't have the same prestige

I vote for her because it's gonna be a lot of fun to hear commentators break their tongues over this name.

we have players (even stars) who dip their stick into the toilet if they can't score for a long time. one our star did it at the Olympics during the intermission.

She uses only her maid name internationally. And as far as her husband is quite well known person (well, at least in modern pentathlon environment) I don't think there would be problem to find a way how to pronounce his name with just a ending changing.

But no commentator here knows anyone in modern pentathlon, because, you know, it's modern pentathlon

I highly doubt our commentators of modern pentathlon know anyone in modern pentathlon (of course, I mean this shitty Sportklub coverage of World Cup highlights and World Championships, not the Olympics on TVP, where the former pentathlete is a commentator, IMO one of the best sports commentator in our country).
