The 29-year-old said: ?It?s really exciting and the opening ceremony is the start of something that I know from Sochi will be the biggest two weeks of my life.?
She has previously carried the flag at the closing ceremony in 2014 at the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia.

Thought that one of Anne's high profile international activities deserved its own thread.

Anne and the Olympic organization is such a great match. She is so practical and probably keeps their feet on the floor. If you look at the video of Princess Alexandra?s wedding you can see that even as a young teen she could step up to the plate as needed.

OMG I hadn't thought about that. But I do think that we will know by then just how bad it's going to be. The worst thing about Corona Virus is that you can get it more than once. How awful! Here's hoping a vaccination will be possible.
Basic information up date of Corona Virus
The new NCP coronavirus may not show signs of infection for many days then can one know if he/she is infected?
Latest information is that the incubation period may be up to 28 days before the symptoms of COVID 19 are evident.
By the time a person has fever and/or cough and goes to the hospital, the lungs are usually 50% fibrosis and it's too late.
A simple self check to do every morning:
Take a deep breath and hold for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness, it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection.
In critical times, please self check every morning in an environment with clean air.
Japanese doctors treating COVID19
Everyone should ensure your mouth and throat is moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus does enter into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your esophagus and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acids will kill all the virus.
If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipes and into the lungs.

I know a few of the athletes, the psychological effect is not good. They understand the situation worldwide, but keeping up to be number 1 from their country is the very hard part.
It's interesting how the world will socially operate after it's over.

I can't imagine how hard it must be on all those who worked so hard, made the grade, and now have to maintain their training for another year. I'm so sorry for them. At least by then they will all be vaccinated and won't have to worry about being in close contact.

This olympics have been _______________.
The most I watched (news) was the drama with the ROC 15 year old female skater, drugged?! And the decisions taken because she's a minor. Her guardians, mentors, etc blasted in worldwide news. The political :shake: between China/Russia. Sorry to see this drama overshadowing for 1.5 weeks the olympics.
ALSO, I wish Princess Anne had gone with Team GB. She's perfect for the job.
