Belle 722 Posted July 19, 2021 #182 Share Posted July 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Agger said: I really don't get why they mention those two specific teams. Men's handball could have at least one potential flag bearer but play even earlier than the football team. Personally I would pick Rissveds and Salminen thoug Sofia Mattson and Peder Fredricson could do it as well. I agree. They could have mentioned the men’s handball team. But I doubt it will be anyone from them too. Nice picks btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more people outside of mountainbiking and/or Sweden can hear about her, the better. True inspiration.

They usually pick "less known sports athletes" as flag bearers, well except Phelps, but that was for another reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
