Alpine skier Mollie Jepsen got things started for Canada at the Beijing Paralympics — now she’ll lead the Canadian contingent to close out the 2022 Games.
The Canadian Paralympic Committee announced on Saturday that Jepsen, who won Canada’s first medal of the Games with gold in the women’s standing downhill, would be the country’s flag-bearer for the closing ceremony of Beijing 2022.
“To be able to represent all of the athletes who have done so amazing here and competed their hearts out at the Games feels amazing, and it’s an honour I will cherish for the rest of my life,” Jepsen said.
