Frenzel is from East Germany as well. And so are several athletes, who carried the German flag in the past. 

 

I meant East German, as in member of senior/junior teams of the former East Germany.

Meanwhile, our flag bearer will probably be announced tomorrow.

Anything but Pechstein would be good  

Very interesting to hear something like that from you. Probably just trying to get a reaction, since you can't seriously expect that anyone takes you seriously on that one ... so here you got it.

I am surprised that she never carried it before ...

She is the only possible choice to be honest. A legend of (german) winter sport, no one else in the german team comes even remotely close to her accomplishments. I think Felix Neureuther could have been the only one to "challenge" her.

Georgia named Moris Kvitelashvili (figure skating) as the first candidate. Should he can't attend the opening it will be Iason Abbramashvili (alpine skiing, also 2010 flag bearer).
