- Diver and rower to lead GB athletes at opening of Games
- Glover says it is ‘probably the biggest honour of my life’
Tom Daley and Helen Glover have been named as Team GB’s joint flag bearers for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Friday. The duo boast three Olympic gold medals between them with Daley coming into the Games as the defending champion in the men’s 10m synchro diving event.
Glover won coxless pairs gold in both London and Rio, and came out of retirement in 2021 in a quest to add to her medals tally in the French capital. Daley is the first diver to be afforded the honour of carrying the flag in the opening ceremony, while Glover is the second consecutive rower after Moe Sbihi in Tokyo.
