Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

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...

I've been saying since the trials this would be who they should pick as flag bearer and they did!  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.

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.
