Nadal to carry Spanish flag at the London 2012 Olympics

Rafa Nadal's wishes to march in the Olympic Stadium in London on July 27 in front of the Spanish delegation will come true.

At the meeting of the Olympic federations on March 28th will be introduced a clause by which the champion, the best curriculum is in accordance with standard Olympic-experience can not repeat in successive games to make it plural.

This is the reason that David Cal, who led the Spanish parade in Beijing, will not be able to do it again. Furthermore, in preparing the Spanish canoeist is not even confirmed his presence in London that day, because it acts at the end of the Games.

Other Spanish athletes, Iker Martinez and Xavi Fernandez, also have a chance but they will be housed in Weymouth, 200 kilometers from the capital, and even they are allowed to attend the ceremony and will not begin to compete until three days later, is considered to be a long trip to do.

As Nadal was in Athens, but only played one doubles match, his file exceeds Samuel Sanchez, the other individual Olympic gold could be in London.
