Dirk bearing the Colors & Rings


Dirk Nowitzki will be Germany’s flag bearer at the opening ceremonies in Beijing this week. It looks like that petition paid off. Think he’s excited? Check out the hair. It’s got a nice ring to it.

What a summer for Dirk. Not only is he participating in the Olympics, but he’ll be front-and-center when the German contingent enters the Olympic stadium. He is the first German basketball player so honored.

Here is the release from our good friends at the German Basketball Federation:

Dirk Nowitzki of the German Basketball Team is named the German flag bearer for the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB) chose Nowitzki due to his perfect interpretation of the Olympic idea. The German Olympic delegation will enter the Olympic Arena "Bird's nest" as 198th of 205 nations. Nowitzki is then leading the 438 German participants at the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing.

"It's a great honor and I'm very excited for the Opening ceremony on Friday. It has always been our dream to participate at the Olympic games and now we finally made it!" Nowitzki said in a first statement.

Ingo Weiss, President of the German Basketball Federation explained: "We are all very proud of Dirk. He has worked on his Olympic dream with huge dedication and commitment."

"Dirk absolutely deserves it. It is tough to think of another exemplary athlete. Dirk always works hard for the team in order to be successful," said the German head coach Dirk Bauermann.
