MattM Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/vote-who-should-carry-us-flag-opening-ceremony It's more of a suggestion of athletes for the Olympic team to think about than the final decision, but still worth getting his name in the mix for consideration. He is currently in 2nd just edging out Michael Phelps, but behind an equestrian rider. Here is a nice JB video from the site to help you with your decision. http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/jordan-burroughs-life-bigger-wrestling-mat Edited July 30, 2016 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Ratliff Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well, Phelps will get to carry it for what will most likely be his last Olympics...until the clones come of age. bgcoach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grecoref Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I think it's a blessing in disguise. Concentrate on winning the gold medal and avoid the other distractions that come with the Games. Edited August 5, 2016 by grecoref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concentrate on winning the gold medal and avoid the other distractions that come with the Games.Something tells me between bring a past gold medalist and bring connected to the official sponsors that JB will already have plenty of interviews and other apperances to make prior to wrestling starting. Let's just hope he's able to juggle that side of his success as he's done in the past and still be focused on the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
