Games will begin with opening ceremony on Friday

Women's hockey captain Marie-Philip Poulin says she feels like she needs to pinch herself after being named one of the flag-bearers for Canada at the Beijing Olympics.

Poulin will share the honour with short-track speedskating star Charles Hamelin, who is participating in his fifth Olympic Games.

Poulin is a three-time medallist while Hamelin has won five Olympic medals, including three gold, tying him for Canada's most decorated male winter Olympian.
