Flagbearers (Opening/Closing)

6 am Eastern (6 hours and 17 minutes from now) will see the Canadian flag bearers announced.

Any guesses?

Well, I've already posted my thoughts on the Canada thread earlier.  Originally I thought Justin Kripps had a good shot, but someone else mentioned Parrot or Toutant and I would go with that now.

Official: Hamelin (short track) and Philip-Poulin (hockey) are the flag bearers.

Couldn't pick better flag bearers. Though concerning since Hamelin has 1 possibly 2 events the next day?

I wouldn't have picked Hamelin due to the schedule, but otherwise you can't argue with either Hamelin or Poulin. Great choices.

I wasn't expecting Hamelin given his events the next day but he is a fantastic choice.

I'm really happy with the choices! We're so lucky that there were so many legendary athletes to choose from and you can't go wrong with Hamelin and Poulin. 

 

On Hamelin competing the next day, I'm a little worried but I doubt Hamelin would have taken on the role if he thought it would have a significant negative impact on his performance.
