i would pick ( :ISR ) misha zilberman (bedminton) for men (its his 4th olympics and he is a pionner for this sport in the country) or artem dolgopyat(artistic gymnastics)  as he is a gold medalist and lonah chamtai (marathon) for women or maybe avishag samberg (taekwondo) if she will get in as she got a bronze last time

Nice choices for :ISR as well.

 

On the other hand, I really hope Gili Kuritzky will make it to Paris in fencing. I really liked her performance in Euro Games in Kraków and I follow her career now. Not a flag bearer in Paris yet, maybe she could raise your flag proudly in LA 2028???

first let her get a qualification, we have bad history with it in fencing, with 2 good compatitors last olympics both coming shot in the end, the men epee team starting to lose just in time for the qualification time and nicole pustilnik disapearing after failing last time (i know she went to collage) and the last time we had a person quallify the national federation didint fight for her to get approval from the israeli olympic commity 

i hope she will be able with all the geat young generation in this sport but i do not let my hopes get up

Maybe she can make a huge surprise and qualify for Paris in an individual European Quali Tournament. I will be watching her...

For :GRE

 

Miltiadis Tentoglou (athletics)

Katerina Stefanidi (athletics)

 

We usually choose people with Olympic success in the past, and the only other past gold medalists either carried the flag already (Petrounias, Korakaki), retired after Tokyo (Tsoulfa), or are competing the day after (Ntouskos).

My main candidates would all be questionable for the Opening (late arrivals or competing the day after).

But I would say

Lasse Norman Leth (Track cycling)

Emma Aastrand Jørgensen (kayak sprint)

 

If they're not there at the time:

 

Anne Marie Rindom (Sailing)

Joachim Sutton (rowing)

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
