LuizGuilherme 198 Posted July 17, 2021 #161 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Bruno Rezende (volleyball) Ketleyn Quadros Bruninho is very famous here, its a obvious choice and I liked it. Ketleyn was the first brazilian woman to win a medal in a individual sport (judo) back in Beijing 2008 but was a big surprise. I liked this choice too. I would love to see Formiga as a flagbearer but she will play in another city few hours after the ceremony, so, it was impossible hckošice and Laraja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,127 Posted July 17, 2021 Author #165 Share Posted July 17, 2021 so we are still missing 111 countries. 12 of them will have only 2 athletes so we may expect them to be the flagbearers (If their NOCs will opt for 2 flagbearers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,558 Posted July 17, 2021 #166 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Zhu Ting(Volleyball) and Zhao Shuai(Taekwondo). Both are very tall. Height is consistently the major consideration for Chinese flag bearer. thepharoah, River Knight, hckošice and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Knight 10 Posted July 17, 2021 #167 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Same thing in Vietnam, as long as the flag bearers are tall and young, their performances do not matter Our flag bearers this time are Quách Thị Lan (athletics) and Nguyễn Huy Hoàng (swimming), who have almost 0 chance of winning a medal. Our only gold medalist Hoàng Xuân Vinh (shooting) was not chosen (probably too old). Neither were our hopes in weightlifting (probably too short) hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
