Luis Scola will be the one who will have the honor to be Argentina’s flagbearer and enter the Maracana stadium first holding the Argentinian flag. Manu Ginobili, his teammate of many years in the national team made a post on facebook stating how proud he feels for his friend.
Ginobili recalled his own moment of being Argentina’s flagbearer in Beijing’s Olympics in 2008.
“Ιt is amazing that Luis is the flag bearer. I lived in the 2008 Beijing Games and was a very exciting expereince. The fact you feel like the head of a country in an event like this is spectacular. I think Luis won’t realize what’s going on until we’re there and about to enter the field of Maracaná. That’s when I hit me and I felt happiness and pride.”
