Swimmer Katie Ledecky, who became the United States' most decorated Olympic female athlete of all time during the Paris Games, will share flag-bearer duties during the closing ceremony with gold medal-winning rower Nick Mead. "Thank you, Team USA," Ledecky said in the video posted to social media by Team USA. "This is a huge honor. I can't wait for closing ceremony. It's been an honor representing our country here in Paris. I'm so proud to be part of this team." Ledecky, 27, has 14 career Olympic medals after winning four, including two gold, in the Paris pool. Her nine career gold medals also is tied for the most by any female Olympian. She capped off her Games with a gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle, joining Michael Phelps as the only swimmers to win the same event at four straight Games.
