Paris Olympics 2024: PR Sreejesh to Leon Marchand - Who Will be The Flagbearers at Closing Ceremony Today?

Hockey legend PR Sreejesh and Manu Bhaker will be India's flagbearers, while swimming stars - USA's Katie Ledecky, Australia's Kaylee McKeown and France's Leon Marchand will carry their respective country's flags at the Paris Olympics 2024 closing ceremony on Sunday, August 11.

Unlike the opening ceremony which saw the parade of nations taking place on boats on the River Seine in the French capital, the Closing Ceremony will be a more traditional affair with the all activities and performances set to take place inside the Stade de France, the country's national stadium.

The closing ceremony is set to feature the athletes' parade and the handover of the Olympic flag to the organizers of the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. The ceremony is also expected to include more than 100 performers, acrobats, dancers and circus artists on a huge stage.

Many nations wait until the last day of competition to confirm their flag bearers for the closing ceremony, with 14 medals still to be decided on Sunday (August 11). But some nations have already announced their flagbearers. Here is a look at some of those scheduled to take part:

Who will be the flag bearers for the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony?

Manu Bhaker, a double Olympic medallist in Paris, was named the flagbearer for India earlier in the week, while the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced Sreejesh's addition after the Indian men's hockey team bagged their second-straight Olympic bronze medal.

Leon Marchand has been one of the biggest stars in Paris with his four gold medals and he's set to carry the French flag into the farewell celebration. Katie Ledecky will carry the United States flag along with rower Nick Mead.

Swim star Kaylee McKeown and sailor Matt Wearn will carry Australia's flag. McKeown had won the 100 and the 200 meter backstroke titles to repeat her feat from the Tokyo Games in 2021.
