Fly_like_a_don 927 Posted July 5, 2021 #113 Share Posted July 5, 2021 These names weren't actually discussed in media recently with Sindhu even talking about how it would be as a flagbearer , maybe some scheduling issues or something with her, this will be the final flagbearer choice for India. https://olympics.com/en/news/india-flag-bearers-tokyo-olympics-mary-kom-manpreet-singh-bajrang-punia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,180 Posted July 5, 2021 #114 Share Posted July 5, 2021 When Iran announced just one flagbearer for the Games, I wasn't sure if they simply ignored Bach's stupid advice or they simply weren't aware of that. (that's completely possible with Iranian officials, sometimes they don't just read letters) unfortunately it seems they just didn't know that. and now Iran is considering having two flagbearers at the Games they already announced the name of two flagbearers for the Paralympics. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 927 Posted July 5, 2021 #115 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think IOC is forcing NOCs to choose 2 unless it's a small nation with no elligible athletes in a gender to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,217 Posted July 5, 2021 Author #118 Share Posted July 5, 2021 well, I would not say IOC is Forcing NOCs to pick 2 flagbearers, rather recommends At least it is what our NOC president said, IOC recommends NOCs to select a male and female to carry the flag at the opening ceremony.
