Penny Oleksiak is going to be the flag bearer for the closing ceremony, which is absolutely the right choice.
That's a easy choice
De Grasse is a far second.

Pretty pleased with Team GB's performance
The biggest question for me is which country will the children of BTE and Ashton Eaton compete for????????
Will they have two, and separate them at birth and send one to Canada, one to the USA, completely unbeknownst to each other?
I don't want to be alone.
LOL. Well they still live and train in Eugene, Oregon, but one per country sounds like a fair deal
I would assume Canada because it may be easier for them to qualify for the Olympics

A nice fact I discovered while looking up some stuff for the Bolt vs Phelps thread. Victor Davis won the Men's 200M breaststroke in 1984 by 2.44s. That's the largest margin of victory by a male swimmer at 200M or less since modern timing measures were introduced.
No doubt. They bettered their performance on home soil which is practically unprecedented in Olympic history. If you look at these olympics purely from a country vs country basis then GB is THE STORY of the games (esp. after Brexit et al.)
Penny Oleksiak is Canada's flag bearer. which was such an obvious.
I would like to see the most money go to athletics, swimming, rowing, and canoe kayak. Not as sure with a second tier of funding but I would say it should include diving and maybe wrestling.
Wrestling has been well funded. I actually think, Canada's won a medal in it in every games since ... wow. 1992. yes. okay. since 1992, Canada has won at least 1 medal in the sport. (and actually since 2000, has won a Gold every other games, 2000, 2008, 2012.)
Wrestling can be huge for Canada.
