Counting 150 outstanding Olympic athletes for Canada's 150th birthday, the following Opening Ceremony flag bearers are athletes #9-#55. Click here to see the blog post with #1-8.
We've had 25 summer and 22 winter Opening Ceremony flag bearers.
There have been 10 who competed in athletics, including our first four flag bearers and 7 who competed in hockey, including our first five flag bearers. Looking at the Olympics since the 1976 Games, athletics and canoe/kayak have yielded three flag bearers each. The winter Olympics have had three speed skating flag bearers (plus one short track speed skating).
Thirteen flag bearers won a medal in more than one Olympics.
Twenty three won a medal at the Games where they were the flag bearer; fourteen of which were gold medals.
Thirteen of the forty seven flag bearers were women. The first Canadian female flag bearer was Nancy Green in 1968. Since then, half the flag bearers have been female.
