5 times Andy Murray impressed in 2016

#2 Murray shows off ‘impressive’ flag-bearing skills

Andy Murray struggled with manouevering the flag – but he went on to win gold nevertheless

Shortly after the euphoria surrounding Murray’s Wimbledon victory died down, there was a chance for Murray to impress with his extra-curricular skills as well. The Scot was named as the flag-bearer of Great Britain’s Rio Olympics contingent.

But when he was called upon to maneuvre the ‘Union Jack’ during a group photo with Princess Anne and Sebastian Coe before the contingent departed for Rio, Murray left his fans in splits with his antics with the flag.

Unable to find a perfect spot to keep the flag, Murray went on to hide Princess Anne behind it before repositioning the flag several times to either side.

Needless to say, it amused his fellow athletes and onlookers to the point most of them were struggling not to break into laughter in the presence of royalty. It was so ‘impressive’ that at one point the princess was seen rolling her eyes at Murray’s struggle with the flag.
