Apparently, the IOC has accepted Italy's request to have four (FOUR!!) different flag bearers. What a circus.

We have the italian names

• Federica Brignone (Alpine skiing, Cortina)
• Amos Mosaner (curling, Cortina)
• Arianna Fontana (short track, Milano)
• Federico Pellegrino (cross country, Milano)

As long as Italy doesnt repeat Paris travesty, I will be satisfied.

 

Don't count on anything too amazing, since there won't be one single opening ceremony, but 4-5 that TV will kind of combine into one thing  

 

There's not going to be a singular event where all/most athletes of a nation are going to be presented in some way. Everyone stays on their own 'island', these are kind of the Olympics of disconnection.

As long as Italy shows us its beautiful culture and history (or whatever they plan) with decency and style - they can split ceremonies in multiple parts. 

I loved Athens, Beijing and London, Sochi was also decent.

The plan is to have 4 different marching locations (one for each cluster). Presumably they will show the stadium entrance, and cut to the tv feed with 4 cameras, show the other 3 locations.

They have split up the Cortina cluster into three different locations for the ceremony

hopefully not Huliak 

 

In serious note. Depend which hockey players will be there at the opening ceremony already, I guess NHLers not yet, so someone from europe, Tatar or Hrivík if you ask me to bet a penny. Vlhová would be awesome if she will make it.

 

If really 4 flag bearers will be ordered than Kuzmina I guess with Ninis in Cortina
