Swimmer Katie Ledecky, rower Nick Mead chosen as Team USA flag bearers for closing ceremony
U.S. swimming star Katie Ledecky and rower Nick Mead have been selected as Team USA's flag bearers for the closing ceremony at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Ledecky won four medals in Paris, making her the most decorated U.S. women's Olympian of all time and the fifth most decorated Olympian in history with 14 medals.
She's the seventh Olympian to win four consecutive gold medals in the same event and the second swimmer to do so after Michael Phelps.
Mead is a two-time Olympian who was part of the U.S. rowing team along with Justin Best, Michael Gracy and Liam Corrigan.
The team won gold in men's four rowing, which was a first for the U.S. in the event since the 1960 Games in Rome.
The closing ceremony is scheduled for Sunday.
