Talkback: How important are athletes in sporting event ceremonies?

After seven years of preparation and 11 days of competition, the final act of the Commonwealth Games fell flat on Sunday after viewers and host commentators slammed the closing ceremony for breaking tradition. How important is it for athletes and flagbearers to enter stadiums where ceremonies are held before and after major sporting events? This is a question put forward to the Cantonese community in today's talkback session hosted by Selina Kong and Kenneth Wong.
