From such a random decision in 2020 to now, choose arguably the most decorated athlete from each gender. Excellent choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted February 2, 2022 #86 Share Posted February 2, 2022 With zero explanation given, it was announced just now that Zrinka Ljutić will replace Leona Popović as the flag bearer, because Leona "will not be in Beijing on the day of the ceremony". Huh. Interesting how they found this out just now. Smells like really bad news... Her first race is supposed to be in just five days... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrilled for Shoostie, very well deserved honor Elana Meyers Taylor was also selected as a flagbearer, but since she is still in quarantine Brittany Bowe will walk in her name.

NearPup 2,167 Posted February 2, 2022 #90 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Just now, intoronto said: Lol. Why name her in the first place? She won the vote (the way US flagbearer selection works is that every sport nominates an athlete, then there is a vote between all the nominees). Officially Meyers Taylor is one of the two flagbearer but she won't walk in the opening ceremony. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
