ASIAN GAMES – Reiko Shiota joins the flag bearer contest
After Koo Kien Keat and Lee Yong Dae, another badminton player will have the honour of carrying their national flag for the Asian Games: Reiko Shiota, who is now Japan’s best bet in the mixed doubles event with Shintaro Ikeda, will bear the standard during the Opening Ceremony.
“It’s both an honour and a heavy responsibility to carry,” Shiota said of her role to Mainichi Daily News.
Japan, which hosted the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, will send its largest delegation ever — 1,078 athletes and officials — to Asia’s version of the Olympics, according to the JOC.
