I think that the womens soccer was the best Canadian story of the games, but Maclennan should carry the flag. She is the only one to get gold, and while its a sport that I think is silly and should be eliminated its still a gold. She accomplished something that no other Canadian athlete was able to do in London and ought to be rewarded as such.
That's not to take away from Sinclair or her performance here. The Soccer team was great, but so were a number of other bronze medalists. They've had their moment in the spotlight though, and we should celebrate our only gold medal winning performance by letting her have the honour of carrying the flag.
