Get ready to cheer, Canada! Summer McIntosh and Ethan Katzberg are taking centre stage as our flag-bearers at the Paris Olympics' closing ceremony! 🎉🌟

As the curtain falls on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Canada has chosen two inspiring athletes to represent us during the closing ceremony. Olympic champions Summer McIntosh, the sensational swimmer from Toronto, and Ethan Katzberg, our first hammer throw gold medallist in over a century, will proudly carry the flag into the Stade de France. Both of these athletes have not only showcased their incredible skills in their respective sports but have also captured the admiration of our nation.

Summer McIntosh made waves—quite literally—by becoming the first Canadian to snag three gold medals at a single Olympics! She dazzled the world with her speed and grace, securing her place in the history books. Meanwhile, from the picturesque landscapes of British Columbia, Ethan Katzberg threw his way into Olympic history, bringing home the gold in hammer throw and marking a significant milestone for Canada, as it's been 112 years since we last stood atop the podium in this event.

Interestingly, both McIntosh and Katzberg were not initially present at the closing ceremony when they were offered the prestigious role of flag-bearers. With their busy schedules and post-Olympic celebrations, their return to the Games for this honor highlights their dedication to not only their sport but also to Team Canada. As they prepare to wave our flag, they're also a beacon of inspiration for future generations of athletes.

So, gather around your televisions on August 11, 2024, at 3 p.m. ET, and get ready to cheer as Summer and Ethan take centre stage! It's a moment that signifies not just their personal triumphs but a collective celebration of all that Canada has achieved at this year's Olympic Games.

Did you know that Summer McIntosh, still in her teens, has already set numerous world records? The future looks bright for this swimming prodigy! And let’s not forget about Ethan Katzberg - his unique training regime even involved throwing soup cans in his backyard before making it to the Olympics; who knew kitchen supplies could lead to gold? This duo is not just waving a flag, they're setting a new standard for sporting excellence in Canada!
