Flagbearer thoughts?


Recommended Posts

How many flagbearers are there per nation? Not sure how this opening ceremony will work.

 

If I had to choose, I'd go with Vonn + Baumgartner (if there is only two) and Chock + Bates (if there is four flag bearers). Shiffrin probably has another cycle in her so she can do 2030.

 

I don't think it should be given to any athlete that hasn't proven anything at the Olympics yet (Stolz, Malinin).

I think there are only 2.  Italy gets 4.  But it will also be weird because I think there are four places where athletes will be marching.  We'll see!

 

And I agree with Stolz and Malinin...but I do think they'll both be going home with hardware. :)

Big name would be Chloe Kim. She, in my sphere, is the biggest star in the team. She has a similar appeal as Coco Gauff in 2024. Malinin would fill that role for the mens side.

 

Other name would be Jaelin Kauf who could be a the first time Dual Mogul's Olympic champion and is one the best US mogul skiers of all time, although she would make a better closing ceremony choice if she does win.

Stolz is my guess for men's closing ceremony bearer. I follow this stuff and didn't know his name until today. If he goes and wins a few golds he'll become a star overnight.

Anyone know when this will be announced?

I just looked, and last time, it was two days before it started...so if things go like that, then Wednesday might be the day.

    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.

    • Looks like i severely overestimated the intelligence of the average Bulgarian.. Tragic result, but will see what happens now. Initial stance last night was that there won't be any EU blockage, but we will be "standing our ground on Bulgaria's interests", whatever that means. The campaign and the whole election cycle was more towards our domestic problems, corruption and status quo. There wasn't much foreign rhetoric, even though everyone knows Radev's position.   It's basically wait and see at this point. Like i mentioned before, this guy isn't as bombastic as Orban, but more tactical and cunning, so i don't expect fireworks in front of whole Europe.  
    • First careers Play-off hattrick for Juraj Slafkovský last night in the opening Stanley Cup Play-Offs 1st round. That was like million years since it happened last time from a Slovak player       
    • Do they have to make every sport a mass sport? There are mass sports and elite sports, and let's keep it that way. Not every sport has to be global, so let them back off and to leave fencing with safe...
    • it will end up like Michael Johnson's Track & Field experiment (I hope) 😈
    • Oh no... They want to destroy another sport The USA and the IOC together

    • To give some insight into how ridiculous Angharad's time was, the mixed relay that includes her, the infamous female breaststroker, is one second quicker than the four that includes Adam ****ing Peaty.   It's VERY rare your quickest mixed 4 includes your female breaststroker - the slowest stroke also creates, generally the biggest 'sex' gap. But if your male stroker is relatively very weak (think USA Tokyo 2020) it can be explained.   When your male stroker is Adam Peaty, backed up by Filip Nowacki, its insane.
    • Doesn't seem to be major changes.   Section 3.B has been updated in relation to the host nation quota to introduce 'eligible' into the criteria. In the new version, 'if the host country has not already qualified an athlete, the highest-placed host country eligible athlete based on the final results of the Olympic Games 2028 Qualification Event will directly obtain a quota place. If the host country has already had one or two athletes qualify via alternate pathways, the host country quota position will not be granted and will be reallocated.'   There is also a change to section F1 and F2 to introduce gender criteria - 'If an allocated quota place is not confirmed by the NOC by the confirmation of quota places deadline, or is declined by the NOC, the quota place will be reallocated to the next highest placed eligible athlete not yet qualified of the same gender from the same qualification event where the quota place was allocated , adhering to the maximum number of quota places per NOC, as outlined above (B.2).'
