I like Gambian outfit.

If Aruban flag bearer didn't, no one will.

Fiji always has special outfit for flag bearer

Luik trio.

We have a twist, flag definitely wasn't carried by volunteer.

For the first time I saw our outfits believe it or not.

So basically I started that craziness

Did I hear some boo for Qatar?

Burundi always has the best outfits.

Bugs

It's really getting exciting now.

While we await for ceremony, we can talk about tomorrow's watching priorities. As expected, first day will be a bit stressful for me as I'm eager to watch eventing (which is time consuming), but I'm also eager to watch other events such as men's road race (gonna be a big conflict between these two!!). Swimming's evening session is also something I don't want to miss + watching Croatian athletes as much as I can. I'll watch other stuff too of course, but I'll just plan that as day goes.

I say it's all Maracana's fault

It's still weird that they couldn't send some official or something.

Two medals are possible but German clean sweep is really unlikely, loads of other contenders. It would be cool if Klimke gets an individual medal.

Volunteer will carry flag

So at least we still have one non-Korean record. Olympic record holder is quite interesting. Ukrainian lady who apparently only competed in 1996 and finished 23rd after setting that OR.

Choi needs perfect 60 for OR, not gonna happen.

Top 3 for South Korea by a long way now.

Deepika already dropped to 18th after being in the lead.

I didn't even notice the late changes. Interesting decisions. Germany replaced Andreas Ostholt with Julia Krajewski while New Zealand replaced Jock Paget with Tim Price. All happened after horse inspection.
