India had for most of our olympics a flagbearer from Hockey ...but the last few olympics as our hockey team has slid down we have people from Individual sports but I am shocked about football

Hockey still has chance with :NED (women's team doesn't play in day 1) or less likely :NZL 

Football only chance is with :SWE (unlikely)

For Triathlon, I would be surprised if Flora Duffy isn't flag bearer for :BER

No football player selected as flag bearer is not at all surprising considering 1) only few stars as the tournament is basically U23 and 2) football tournament is already underway. Majority of football squads might skip opening ceremony.

:COL 

 

Due to security reasons the IOC now won't allow Jossimar Calvo to leave during the ceremony so it's been decided that Yuri Alvear (Judo 70k) will be the flagbearer tomorrow

 

EDIT: We now reach a streak of 5 female flagbearers in a row (6 if we include the winter games) and no male flagbearers this century/millenium.
