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.

    • Awards time!  Here's the World Athletics nominations for Track Runner of the year.    Nominees announced for Track Athlete of the Year 2024 | World Athletics   And for Field Event athlete of the year, although both of these choices are pretty bloody obvious.  High demand for yellow and blue flowers, put it that way.     Nominees announced for Field Athlete of the Year 2024 | World Athletics
    • A gold and a silver medal in the Panamerican tournament, not bad, i really don expect that "easily" defeat with USA.
    • World Cups don't generally have the exotic competitors we see in the world championships though, it's more likely starting down with the 13th best Austrians and such  
    • Congratulations to comissioner Rob Manfred and the rest of the MLB media for getting their dream world series.   As for my thoughts:    
    • MLB got their ideal WS: Yankees vs Dodgers
    • Their database is too poor for them to be able to accurately do this.
    • Yep, confirmed.  We have Marcelletje for , Lindsay Vonn and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for .   However, Vonn and Hirscher will be wild cards, so starting down with the Chileans and the Iranians in the first leg.  Snow conditions are good though.     Vonn, Hirscher & Braathen Returning To Racing At World Cup Opening - InTheSnow
