    Petr Koukal made badminton fans very proud. The first and only badminton athlete to become a flag bearer in the OG.

    Even Lin Dan and LCW never get selected to do such honour..

    Yup, I checked it again, there is NO Indonesian badminton player in the crowd!
    I'm sure they are in the hotel, sleeping or watching it from TV

    Yes, I read an article about one of them. One of the track runners has citizenship in a country that isn't registered with the IOC, he lives in the US but had troubles with getting citizenship so he didn't get it in time and he appealed to the IOC and they let him be represented as an IOC Independent Athlete.

    is your location now in UK still current?
    if so, BBC broadcast from 8am to 1am with 25 live channels will cover all sports and all sessions live.
