"Georgian born Khatuna Lorig will carry the US flag."

And the point to this?

I find it disgusting. If anyone should carry the flag it should be Phelps.

You’re probably right but I think he’s no longer there.

The one thing that made me curious about these games was the way the flag on the right side of the swimmers caps were done. The Union should have been forward instead of trailing. I hope that changes in London. Some flag etiquette should have been observed. Otherwise, it was a great showing by the US contingent. Kind of a bummer the Michael Phelps wan't at the closing ceremonies. Guess he's feeding his new addiction to gold in London.

The athletes decide who carries the flag. They are sending a message to Russia. I approve.
