Dirk Nowitzki (pictured) was Germany's flag bearer at the opening ceremonies at Beijing 2008; keep in mind that Germany's men's basketball team qualified for those summer games. Yao Ming was China's flag bearer at that same opening ceremony. Same with Roger Federer, who held the Swiss flag as well.
Those were some of the notable flag bearers for the opening ceremonies at Beijing 2008. On to London, where already seven countries have confirmed flag bearers for the opening ceremonies, and more will be announced within the days to come.
These are the seven that have confirmed flag bearers:
- Brunei (BRN): Azita al-Qasmi, shooting
- Cameroon (CMR): Annabelle Laure Ali, wrestling
- France (FRA): Laura Flessel, fencing
- Italy (ITA): Valentina Vezzali, fencing
- Mexico (MEX): Maria Espinosa, taekwondo
- Serbia (SRB): Novak Djokovic, tennis
- Spain (ESP): Rafa Nadal, tennis
Next on the countdown: events previews, starting with basketball!
