Great choice!

It's a perfect way to close out their final year of competition...well that and another potential gold medal

"This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of our career," Virtue said at Tuesday's news conference from inside the House of Commons in Ottawa. "The honour of carrying the Canadian flag into the opening ceremony at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang brings with it a sense of duty, privilege and above all, great pride.

"Pride in representing a nation whose values stand for unity, diversity, fairness and inclusion. Pride in marching with a team of inspiring athletes who will fearlessly and courageously compete for Canada on the world's biggest stage. Pride in our maple leaf and all that it represents."

Not a bad choice, and very recognizable, but should have been Kingsbury, imo. I don't think there is a more dominant Canadian athlete in his/her respective sport
