Elana Meyers Taylor selected as closing ceremony flagbearer A frustrating but rewarding Olympics will have a cherry on top for U.S. bobsledder @elanameyerstaylor. The four-time medalist will carry the Red, White and Blue at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday. She was selected to be a flagbearer with curler John Schuster during the opening ceremony, but tested positive for COVID-19 upon her arrival in China and missed the event. Taylor is now the second athlete to be selected as the opening and closing flagbearer. "I was so honored to be named the opening ceremony flagbearer, but after not being able to carry the flag, it’s even more humbling to lead the United States at the Closing Ceremony,” Meyers Taylor said in the announcement. #olympics #winterolympics #winterolympics2022 #closingceremonies #flagbearer
