NBC's Mike Tirico apologized for misidentifying the flag carried by French player Mathias Lessort during the men's basketball medal ceremony as the Palestinian flag. The flag was actually that of Martinique, a former French colony, which features a distinctive color scheme and has an additional white bar between the black and green stripes that Palestine's flag does not have.
