Also I think not everything was shown on today's rehearsal. For Toronto 2015 they kept the Donovan Bailey part secret, so I believe will keep some of the secrets for the actual show.

Ikarus360 591 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 Slighty dissapointed they missed a great oportunity to use these guys for the hoisting of the flags Also, for the speeches, they will refer, once again like in Sochi, to Tomas Bach as the 1976 Olympic champion in fencing. Like we give a damn for that russophile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 591 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 ^^ Apparently yes. There was a periscope vid showing the arrival of the olympic flag but it doesn't shows the hoisting and how it will be performed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rio2016man 10 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 Brazil already had 21 flag-bearers. In 96 years of participation, a woman. Sandra Pires, the volleyball, in 2000. Yane Marques will be the second. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

illustrado 75 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 i think the peace sign is only a placemarket of the olympic rings.(i've seen pics where the peace sign is in the 'funk' section. it would be nothing as fancy as london (or god forbid sochi) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the international symbol of peace was deliberate and will remain as it is through the last rehearsal on wed and the OC on Frday. The peace symbol is very topical at the moment with all the conflict and was going on. It linked into the video speech during the rehearsal by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon who talks about peace and for arms to be laid down.
