Fly_like_a_don 936 Posted June 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I believe some nations have already decided but if you got the opportunity to choose 1 or 1 in each gender who would they be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle 723 Posted June 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Female: Sarah Sjöström Male: I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,274 Posted June 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2021 My dreamed Male: Peter Sagan. the best SVK athlete of history, but never going to happen, since road race is always the next morning Female: No idea, Danka Barteková already was in Rio our flagbearer so it would be fair to honor somebody else this time, maybe Zuzana Rehák-Štefečeková ? My Expected If we go with the current trendy M+W I believe we will choose a canoe slalom male (and since our flag bearers are usually former olympic medalists) I expect Matej Beňuš, and for women I think it will be in fact our two time Olympic W Trap silver medalist Zuzana this time The names however should be announced the 1st of July during the final nomination approval session of our NOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuizGuilherme 201 Posted June 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2021 In my opinion Brazil should have: Male: Izaquias Queiroz (canoeing, 3 olympic medals in Rio) Female: Formiga (football, she is going to her seventh olympics. She is 43 and stills playing in a awesome level) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,893 Posted June 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Italy have already chosen Jessica Rossi (Shooting, women's Trap Olympic Gold medallist in London) and Elia Viviani (Cycling, men's Omnium Olympic Gold medallist in Rio)... I'm absolutely OK with them, even if normally I don't like the idea of having "competitive athletes" carrying the Flag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, If Cagnotto had decided not to retire and would have qualified, it would have been great to see her as the standard-bearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpjmcevoy 202 Posted June 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Sanita Puspure and Thomas Barr, or failing that Katie Mullan and Billy Dardis, the captain of the two team sports we've qualified, the first time we've qualified two teams in two sports since 1948 Jason and Laura Trott - Greatest male and female Olympians, married couple, both going for outright records, and it would just be cute. Failing that, Helen Glover and Ed Clancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted June 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Santiago Lange & Cecilia Carranza and they will be selected this week without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzha 529 Posted June 22, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Purely hypothetically I'd go with two great athletes in their final Games: Epke Zonderland (gymnastics, gold in London) and Ranomi Kromowidjojo (swimming, multiple golds in Beijing and London). No idea who will go to the opening ceremony or carry the flag in practice. Other candidates would be Lobke Berkhout (sailing), Eva de Goede (hockey) or Edward Gal (equestrian).
