It's good that China finally started naming other sportspersons (and not basketball players) as flag bearers. For the second most successful nation it was embarrassing that they had all their flag bearers till 2012 were basketball players. Just felt against the Olympic spirit.

I can't read Amharic, but from Google Translate the article said that he will be a flag bearer unless there is a request to refuse the role, then the officials will select a last minute replacement
