Yes. About 50..

 

I'm just curious how we'll be able to get the flag bearers from some "dark hole of information" area like :PRK for example ;)

Anybody else finds Cagla Buyukakcay a really odd as Turkish flag bearer? Ok I get that she recently won a tennis tournament in her home country but by no means will she get passed second or third round at the Olympics as she is a rather mediocre player (I'm a fan but you've got to call a cat a cat ;) ). Turkey has better medal contestants in other disciplines + more experienced and deserving athletes, no?

Personally I think there are some better candidates, but just let them choose the flag bearer...

 

Sometimes there are countries which won't let their top athletes to carry the flag, ordering them to focus in getting the medals. Some others don't really care and want to make sure their best athlete appear in TV even if he/she is competing tomorrow in the morning :lol:. It depends on the country (and the officials). Talking about criteria in choosing the flag bearer, I think China has the best one: "must be a tall and handsome man" :lol: 

 

Btw, welcome to Totallympics :)

Jeroen Dubbeldam would normally fly to Rio on Saturday, but said he could make an exception if he was chosen to carry the flag...guess who has been spotted at the Amsterdam airport half an hour ago :evil:
