Our Olympic Flag Bearer

Who do you expect to see carry the flag into the stadium

My thoughts were either Liesl Jones or Lauren Jackson

Russell Mark must be a chance as well

Anyone else you think might be a contender

You could possibly rule out Steffensen I think
 
Michael Diamond could be a roughy.
I guess a diamond in the rough

Hahahaha good one slacko.

Yeah I agree with Winnipeg, Andrew Hoy should get the honour - 5 Olympics is an amazing feat as is Jones' 4 Olympics
 
Should be the pole vaulter- his confidence has been shot to pieces. Could do him well- find that mojo again.

That's a tough decision to make as there is many deserving athletes. Who decides who is the flag bearer?

Guessing mainly the AOC and possibly the Chef de Mission
 
I think longevity should win out. I vote Andrew Hoy. The beach volleyball chick would have been in for a show before she opened her gob….maybe Liesel Jones...

no, but he is the highest profile athlete in the team…

But not the highest profile Olympian mate …. I think that makes a big difference

And it should be a Qlder as well (goes without saying doesn't it )
 
I'd like to see Liesel Jones - first Australian swimmer to do 4 Olympics. For such a gruelling sport, that's a mean effort. She's been successful too.

As I thought Andrew Hoy was the flag bearer in 1996

Be a big surprise to see him get the gig again

Has someone even been chosen yet?

The Day before the start of the Olympics

I think usually they also take the athletes schedule into account as well as they don't like the athletes to be getting involved in the opening ceremony if they are performing within 24 hours
