Are there any highly expected athletes in the 2012 London Olympics?

I hope that a Scot wave the Saltire and an Irish from the 6-County area wave the Irish Republic flag, like the African American athletes protested on the Podium in the México Olympics.

 

Seeing a North Korean winner wave a South Korean flag would be fun!

Competitors are not permitted to display any internal political symbols. About 10 years ago a Scottish downhill skier had to get rid of the saltire that he had dyed into his hair during the Winter Olympics. It wasn't the GB team who imposed it, it was the IOC.

 

As fir Northern Irish athletes, they can choose if they want to be Irish or British can't they? I think most choose Ireland.
