Team USA has named its flag bearers for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics
Feb 2, 2022
Five-time Olympic curler John Shuster and four-time Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor were voted by Team USA to be the nation’s flag bearers at the Beijing Olympics. Shuster, one of four five-time Olympians in Beijing for Team USA, is the first American curler to be chosen as a flag bearer. Taylor, meanwhile, is the only woman to win three Olympic bobsled medals for the U.S. with two silvers and a bronze.
However, after testing positive for COVID-19, Taylor announced that she won‘t be able to participate in the opening ceremony. Instead, three-time Olympic speedskater Brittany Bowe will take HER place as the runner-up in Team USA’s voting. “Being voted by my peers as the flag bearer is the biggest honor of my career,” said Meyers Taylor said in a. “While I cannot carry the flag and walk in with the rest of Team USA, Brittany is very deserving of the opportunity to lead our delegation on my behalf. She is an incredible person with an exemplary character, and I'm excited to watch her and John lead Team USA at the Opening Ceremony.
