1972 Munich Olympics flagbearer

NZOC have confirmed to me that David Aspin was the flagbearer at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. Some online sources (http://www.3news.co.nz/Odds-are-NZ-flag-bearer-will-fly-into-Beijing/tabid/415/articleID/65829/Default.aspx) state Les Mills was flag bearer in 1972 and carried the flag twice, this is incorrect.

Winter Olympics flagbearers 1952 & 1972

Not sure why those errors were introduced. The original version of the article was correct but has been altered since. I've fixed it now. violet/riga _^[talk] 15:04, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

/* Opening ceremony flagbearers */

I see what you did, (talk), but while Blair Tuke did not have his hands on the flag, he was wearing the Te Mahutonga cloak as well. In the ceremony, there were two people wearing Te Mahutonga cloaks: Peter Burling on the right with the Ensign and Blair Tuke on the left with a mobile. NBC coverage also showed Blair hand-waving to the crowd. (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
