Team USA is looking to expand its lead in the gold medal count at the Summer Olympics in Paris on Thursday, as American track star Noah Lyles is set to compete in the men's 200-meter final.
The most decorated woman in American Olympics history will add one more thing to her resume: a flag bearer at the closing ceremony at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Katie Ledecky received a call from fellow Team USA swimmer Bobby Finke, who delivered her the news. “I just wanted to thank you, you’ve been a huge inspiration and a leader to us for 12 years.” Finke said. “I’ve gotten know you for these 12 years, and I really can’t think of anyone better to lead us out of these Olympic Games.
” Ledecky was honored to be selected. “Thank you! Thank you, Team USA. This is a huge honor. Can’t wait for closing ceremonies and it’s been an honor representing our country here in Paris and I’m so proud to be a part of this team.” Ledecky is taking home four medals in these Summer Games.
