Come on guys, even not following NBA that much, there is no doubt that Giannis would be by far the most known name among those announced as flag bearers until now.

Never watched even a quarter of NBA match. Don't follow basketball either except during few multi sport games.

i think other sports are popular in India like tennis, not sure about basketball 

It's not that cricket is the only followed sport. Though it's the most followed there is a sizeable following for Badminton, Kabaddi, Tennis, TT, Football Wrestling, Athletics, Boxing all forms pro/amateur, Golf, Shooting, Hockey and some more.

 

We have had problems with our basketball federation infighting which hasn't helped and we don't even send our teams to Asian Games and there is only a negligible market for the sport.

 

I personally follow a lot of summer and winter sports from Biathlon to Surfing and Sepaktakraw to Figure Skating.

 

Football, Aquatics, Judo, Gymnastics, Basketball, Volleyball are some of the sports that don't fall in my list.

:KAZ Olga Safronova (Athletics) & Aslanbek Shymbergernov (Boxing)

So happy for Safronova. This will be her last Olympics & she has been at the fore front of Kazakh sprinting. Achievements shouldn’t always be judged by medals but what you have done for the sport in your country. Glad that inspite of Athletics programme starting in the 2nd week, the Kazakh NOC has decided to honour her as a flag bearer.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
