Meantime…George Bovell the third…who has been chosen as Trinidad and Tobago’s flag bearer says he’s confident and ready for the Games

And he says he feels honoured to be the one to carry the flag

He dispels rumours that carrying the flag is bad luck…by simply saying …he’s not superstitious at all

Swimming begins tomorrow…and Bovell admitted his only worry with his decision…is that he needs to rest his legs of the games

Bovell says several international friends are carrying the flags for their country… and they have all been supporting his decision to do the same

He says he’s not worried about his performance… as he does not view carrying the flag as a distraction

Bovell says it’s more of an opportunity to enjoy the moment and the opening ceremony …and a reminder …the games will be an experience of a lifetime

The ceremony kicks off at 8.08am local time
