Pace on Earth

Carry That Weight

The Canadian Olympic Committee announed the country's flag bearer at the opening ceremony today. Oakville's Adam Van Koeverden will carry the Maple Leaf into the Birds Nest stadium in Beijing leading some 330 Canadian athletes included cousing Jane. Adam was a gold medallist in Athens and it a favourite to medal again in Beijing. He does not believe in any kind of curse associated with carrying the flag and relishes the honour. Damn straight.

The big thing he noted is that his event isn't until 10 days after the opening ceremonies to there won't be any flag fatigue by the time race day comes around. He would do well to limit his interviews though. This guy is all over the news - here, here, here, and here.

Good luck man.

Pace out.
