baron-pierreIV Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Wow! A first in Opening Ceremony protocol: apparently an older official of the Pakistani team snatched the flag from the pre-assigned athlete as the team was marching into Hehru stadium as he, a Dr. Shah, felt he had to have the honour of carrying the flag and NOT the athlete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcIuAFE9RUE The athlete, of course, dared not run counter with the official...but reports were than the POC were looking into the incident. ANother first for these Delhi 2010 Games!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANother first for these Delhi 2010 Games!! Actually the athlete did put up resistance and there was a reported "tug-of-war" between them. Still, I would hardly consider this a fault of the Indians.

4seasonscentre Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Baron- who I happen to dislike very much- stated this was a first for the Games, which is true. No where did he blame the organizers or Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
