The Ice hockey player Tommy Jacobsen carried the Norwegian flag at the head of the Norwegian squad during the official opening ceremony of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.
Jacobsen, 39 years old, is participating in his third Winter Olympics, and is the first ice hockey player to carry the Norwegian flag at the Olympic march-in.
- It is a great honour for me, and great for Norwegian ice hockey, he said.
Norway is participating in the Winter Games with an ice hockey team for the first time in 16 years, and believe it or not, Norway's men play against host nation Canada in their opening match.
