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.

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
