Bach will be hyper happy World and Commonwealth wrestling medalist Odunayo Adekuoroye was chosen as the flag bearer while she will be assisted by African record holder in the long jump Ese Brume Yeah the sentences are vague, but other articles mentioned Ese Brume is for the closing https://www.blueprint.ng/tokyo-olympics-team-nigeria-depart-in-batches/ The article from Nigeria Guardian is even more confusing, talking about "2018 Olympics in Russia". One thing to be sure is that Odunayo Adekuoroye will carry the flag hckošice and dcro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,127 Posted July 1, 2021 #92 Share Posted July 1, 2021 They will probably announce today that 2 time gold/5 time medalist Maria Grozdeva will be our flag bearer. This will be her second time, as she also was in Athens 2004. With our tragically minimalistic team, and having the wrestlers arrive after the Games have started, there was really no other options imo.
