The U.S. Olympic Delegation has officially announced that two-time Olympic gold medalist LeBron
James (name)
will serve as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the upcoming Olympic Games. The decision not only highlights James' enormous influence in American sports, but also makes him the first American NBA player in history to serve as an Olympic flag bearer.
James' female flag bearer partner will be announced on Tuesday local time. James is now widely recognized in the Olympic delegation, which is reflected in the voting results of all U.S. Olympic athletes. James ultimately emerged as the flag bearer.
It's worth noting that prior to James, the U.S. Olympic delegation's flagbearers were all from the WNBA. 2004 Dawn Staley and 2021 Sue Bird served as flagbearers at the time.
This time, LeBron James became the flag bearer of the U.S. Olympic delegation, undoubtedly a high recognition of his achievements in basketball and beyond. Stephen Curry, who is making his Olympic debut, was also nominated as a flag bearer, highlighting his emergence and prominence in the American basketball community.
James' flag bearer status is not only a recognition of his personal achievement, but also an inspiration and motivation for the entire sport of basketball in the United States. Fans are looking forward to witnessing this historic moment at the Opening Ceremony and expect James and his teammates to make another great run at this year's Olympics.
