Katie Ledecky and rower Nick Mead have been selected to carry the flag during the Olympics closing ceremonies. Our family is particularly happy since Katie is a Stanford alum and Nick is a Princeton alum, so both of our educational bases are covered…

Also well deserved as both come from sports that traditionally avoid the opening ceremonies because their competitions start the first day after opening ceremony night.

The swimmers won't have that problem in 2028.

I can only guess lots of swimmers will bring out the flags for the 2028 opening ceremonies.
Also the athlete attendance rate for most countries at the opening ceremonies will likely be way down since track & field will be week #1.
