Romanian flag bearer will be Catalina Ponor (Artistic-gymnstics), Romanian Olympic Comittee announced today. That means Larisa Iordache won't go to Rio, our comittee voting for Ponor to be our represent in artistic-gymnastics.

That's wonderful news; muie dinamo!

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Can't believe I'm just knowing this today! (i was out of Portugal during June)

I'm happy for him but I would prefer a flag bearer from the Sprint Canoe team, they're the ones that have been done an amazing work in the past years! (and won our ONLY medal in London...)

Maybe they won't be in Rio for the Opening? Anyway, sprint canoeing is late in the program.

So what? Nelson Evora was our flag-bearer on 2008 and he's a triple jumper (which, just like all athletics, was late in the program). And he actually won a gold medal back them (our only 4th Gold medal ever :))

 

I think is a nice gest as João Rodrigues is on his 6th olympics (:yikes:), and he'll probably retire, but I still think Fernando Pimenta (Silver in London 2012 and bronze in last year worlds) would be a better choice.

Well, some of our athletes won't be in Rio for the Opening. That's why Sandra Perković for example couldn't have been chosen for a flag bearer.

      Do or die for the US women.  Japan has nothing to play for, but I'm sure they would love to beat Norway if they have to face them again.  Let's go Tabitha!

      Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony.

      That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.

      option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
