The Brunei National Olympic Committee ( NOC ) selected two athletics competitors through wildcard places . Usually , an NOC would be able to enter up to three qualified athletes in each individual event as long as each athlete met the " A " standard , or one athlete per event if they met the " B " standard . However , since Brunei had no athletes that met either standard , they were allowed to select two athletes , one of each gender , as wildcards . On 13 February it was agreed by Brunei 's Ministry of Culture , Youth and Sports committee that one participant in athletics and swimming would be sent to the Games . In the months prior to the London Games , Brunei attracted media attention as it was noted that the nation was one of only three countries — along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar — never to have sent a female athlete to the Olympics . The three athletes that were selected to compete at the London Games were Ak Hafiy Tajuddin Rositi in the men 's 400 metres , Maziah Mahusin in the women 's 400 metres and Anderson Lim in the men 's 200 metre freestyle swimming competition . Along with the three athletes , the Brunei Olympic team 's delegation was led by chef de mission Hj Mohd Zamri Dato Paduka Hj Hamdani . Mahusin was selected as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony while Lim held it at the closing ceremony
