The names of those who will have the honour of escorting the Olympic Flag into San Siro Stadium on Friday were unveiled Monday. A diverse group, made up of stars from different fields, will share the privilege of parading before the audience.

The ‘Tongan Muscle Man’ who drew attention for his chiseled physique during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics opening ceremony will serve as a flag bearer for the Olympic flag at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics.
