PARIS : Russian and Belarusian athletes, competing at the Paris Olympics as neutral individual athletes without their flag and emblem, will be allowed to take part in the Games closing ceremony on Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said on Saturday.
Irish Olympic swimming medallists Daniel Wiffen and Mona McSharry have been chosen as Ireland's flag bearers for Sunday’s closing ceremony in Paris.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Friday announced the nomination of hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh as the joint flagbearer with pistol shooter Manu Bhaker at the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. IOA president PT Usha said Sreejesh was both an emotional and popular choice within the IOA leadership, including the Chef de Mission Gagan Narang, and the entire Indian contingent. "Sreejesh has served Indian hockey in particular and Indian sport in general admirably through more than two decades," she said.
After holding a nearly four-hour outdoor opening ceremony that included live musical performances, artistic dance routines and athletes sailing along the Seine River, the 2024 Paris Olympics organizing committee is tight-lipped on its plans to close out this year's Summer Games.
Swimmer Katie Ledecky, who became the United States' most decorated Olympic female athlete of all time during the Paris Games, will share flag-bearer duties during the closing ceremony with gold medal-winning rower Nick Mead.
PARIS : Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Tuesday he would snub the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics after a score revision left Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu off the podium on the floor exercise.
India's two-time Olympic bronze medallist Manu Bhaker is set to be India's flagbearer in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) sources stated that Bhaker will be India's women's flagbearer in the closing ceremony. India's men's flagbearer for the ceremony is yet to be confirmed. The closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics will take place on August 11. Bhaker brought her A-game in Paris and broke numerous accolades to claim two bronze medals in the Summer Games.
It was not as good an ending to Manu Bhaker's campaign at the Paris Olympics as she would have liked. The shooter, who scripted history with her two bronze medals at the event, missed out on a historic third as she ended at the fourth position in a high-quality final of women's 25m pistol competition. Manu first clinched a bronze in women's 10m air pistol event before claiming the same honour in the mixed team 10m air pistol, while partnering with Sarabjot Singh.
