Flag Bearers for Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony

The Parade of Nations at the Olympic Games is one of my favourite parts of the Opening Ceremony. I especially love watching and listening to the backgrounds of those chosen to be flagbearers for their nations. 

South Africa's Caitlin Rooskrantz has been named as one of the flag bearers for the nation at the Opening Ceremony. Image from Team SA Facebook Page. See here for the announcement.

Day 1 EF - 2024 MAG Asian Championships

Competition begins on the Floor Exercise for the first day of the Apparatus Finals at the 2024 Men's Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Big hop on the second pass for Carlos Edriel Yulo. Solid through the remainder of the routine. Long wait for his score. His compatriot John Ivan Cruz is up next: Solid tumbling, hop forward on his front twisting pass, a good routine for him otherwise. Kazakhstan's Dmitriy Patanin - hop out of bounds on his first pass, some big tumbling and a solid routine. I feel like the lighting kept changing on him. Erkhembayar Usukhbayar - lands out of bounds on his first pass and a step back on the second pass, lovely spindles, looks like he steps out on his penultimate pass and a step to the side and low in his final pass. Abdulaziz Mirvaliev - the home crowd goes wild! A large hop forward on his first pass, manages to stay in bounds, and produces some great work. Slight bobble on the final pass. YANG Yanzhi - Powerful and quick tumbler, two hops ba...
