In fact its logical. Teklehaimanot will race tomorrow and maybe all other ERI athletes aren´t here yet (all from athletics) perhaps they train in some training camp.

 

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

I'm shocked Babamuratova won't be flag bearer for  she competes on sunday, so she is already in Rio and doesn't have any rest/schedule problems.

 I think Ghana's flagbearer is still Flings Owusu-Agyapong (Athletics). The name listed in the document Joshua Ekirikubinza doesn't sound Ghanaian at all and is actually the name of Uganda's flagbearer!
