thanks for the answer 

 

oh I see now. Preciado is not the opening ceremony flagbearer then, he is the "second flagbearer" after Chocho. He just was in his place for this handover.

thanks, well, it´s more logical, assuming his competition is scheduled the next day.

 

Thanks once again, so I´ll fix the opening post then

Ok. That's clearer. Preciado is called "second flagbearer" (or junior, if you must) and Chocho is still "first"/senior. He received it because of Chocho's ausence but Chocho should still be flagbearer at the parade of nations.

 

EDIT: Way slower, lol

So UAE managed to get a women's weightlifting quota after all despite most of their lifters being horribly below level  

 

I missed that

They got a reallocated quota, thanks to dopers.
