Rafael Nadal may be the chosen one. According to Spanish Olympic Committee President, Alejandro Blanco the Spanish Legend should be the Olympic flag bearer.
Mr. Blanca thiks that Rafa deserves to represents the country also because he has been unfairly accused of doping by recent allegations “I think he should be the flag bearer, especially after how he has been treated. He deserves to feel that Spanish sports care about him.”
“Spanish sports owe him a lot,” Blanco added. “In Beijing, he was the athlete who was followed the most by the international media and by other athletes. Rafa Nadal took Spanish sports to another level.”
Rafa has won the gold (singles) at the Olympics in Beijing. The Spaniard was designed to be the flag bearer for his country in the London Olympics (2012), but he had to decline because he was not fit to play the Games (injury).
