Where can I bet my mortgage, parents and intellectual property rights to anything I might ever invent (unlikely as that is to ever be relevant) on Lucas Braathen carrying Brazil's flag in the opening ceremony and Nicole Silveira carrying it in the closing ceremony?  (snow federation chooses for opening, ice federation chooses for closing in Brazil)

I hope my "cousin" Lucas Pinheiro Braathen will be one of the flagbear

 

*My full name is Luiz Guilherme Pinheiro haha

I hope not, because what I'm hoping for is that the person I'm cooking dinner for at this moment will carry the flag, but yeah, Braathen exists so that's unlikely

 

One of my favorite Totallympics threads though anyway, always fun to see who is chosen

I mean it could easily be both at the opening ceremony (remember its one person per gender)

Ah yeah, is that still the case?

 

I remember last time not every country did that, but I had overlooked that entirely, there is hope!

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

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